MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options:
In triangles ABC and DEF, $\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{E},\angle\text{F}=\angle\text{C}\ \text{and}\text{ AB}=3\text{ DE}.$ Then, the two triangles are:
  • A
    Congruent but not similar.
  • Similar but not congruent.
  • C
    Neither congruent nor similar.
  • D
    Congruent as well as similar.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Similar but not congruent.
$\text{In}\ \triangle\text{ABC}\text{ and}\ \triangle\text{DEF}, \angle\text{B}=\angle\text{E}=\angle\text{F}\ \text{and}=\text{AB}=3\text{DE}$

We know that, if in two triangles corresponding two angles are same, then they are similar by AAA similarity criterion. Also $\triangle\text{ABC}\text{ and}\ \triangle\text{DEF}$ do not satisfy any rule of congruency, (SAS, ASA, SSS), so both are not congruent.
