Option 1: $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \sim \triangle \mathrm{FED}$

Option 2: $\triangle \mathrm{RQP} \sim \triangle \mathrm{FED}$

Option 3: $\triangle \mathrm{PRQ} \sim \Delta \mathrm{FED}$

Option 4: $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \sim \triangle \mathrm{DEF}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \sim \triangle \mathrm{FED}$

By AAA criteria, triangles are similar.
So, $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \sim \triangle \mathrm{FED}$.
Hence, the correct answer is $\triangle \mathrm{PQR} \sim \triangle \mathrm{FED}$.
