In quadrilateral abcd, AC=ad & bc=cd. The shortest distance of AC from d is dp. Prove b, p, d is collinear?

The usual convention is to use capital letters for points and lower case for lines/lengths. You seem to be ignoring case (and perhaps letting autocorrect "fix" things). As I understand it, you mean this:

In quadrilateral ABCD, AC=AD & BC=CD. The shortest distance of AC from D (that is the shortest segment from D to AC) is DP. Prove B, P, and D are collinear.

But when I sketch the figure, I find that the conclusion is not true. Please check that you stated the problem correctly.
