Sir, i think you mean in the 6th line, Let the MINIMUM value be k. :)
By AM-GM ,
a 2 + ( 9 − 4 5 ) b 2 ( 4 5 − 8 ) b 2 + ( 4 5 − 8 ) c 2 ( 9 − 4 5 ) c 2 + d 2 ≥ 2 ( 5 − 2 ) a b ≥ 2 ( 5 − 2 ) 4 b c ≥ 2 ( 5 − 2 ) c d
Adding the 3 inequalities yields a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 ≥ 2 ( 5 − 2 ) ( a b + 4 b c + c d )
Dividing both sides by a b + 4 b c + c d
⟹ a b + 4 b c + c d a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 ≥ 2 5 − 4 ⟹ α = 2 5 − 4 ∴ 6 4 ( α + 4 ) 6 = 1 2 5

Using A.M.-G.M. for reals x , y we have x 2 + y 2 ≥ 2 x y
Here coefficient of a b and c d is unity unlike the coefficient of b c
a 2 + m b 2 ≥ 2 m a b d 2 + n c 2 ≥ 2 n c d ( 1 − m ) b 2 + ( 1 − n ) c 2 ≥ 2 ( 1 − m ) ( 1 − n ) b c
Let the minimum value is k then a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 ≥ k a b + 4 k b c + k c d
Adding the above three equations we get a 1 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 ≥ 2 m a b + 2 ( 1 − m ) ( 1 − n ) b c + + 2 n c d
Comparing above two equations k = 2 n = 2 m ⟹ m = n
Putting this in third part 4 k = 2 ( 1 − m ) ( 1 − n ) 2 k = ( 1 − m ) ( 1 − n ) 2 k = 1 − m = 4 m
On solving we get m = 9 − 4 5 (As m,n are less than one)
So, k = 2 m = 2 9 − 4 5 = 2 ( 5 − 2 ) which is the required minimum value.
