Problem Statement

Basil needs to solve an exercise on summing two fractions ab\dfrac{a}{b} and cd\dfrac{c}{d}, where aa, bb, cc, dd are some non-zero real numbers. But instead of summing he performed multiplication (correctly). It appears that Basil's answer coincides with the correct answer to given exercise. Find the value of ba+dc\dfrac{b}{a} + \dfrac{d}{c}.
