MCQ
In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{DEF},$ it is given that $\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{E},\angle\text{F}=\angle\text{C}$ and $\text{AB}=3\text{DE},$ then the two triangles are :
  • A
    Congruent but not similar
  • Similar but not congruent
  • C
    Neither congruent not similar
  • D
    Similar as well as congruent

Answer

Correct option: B.
Similar but not congruent
In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{DEF},$
It is given that $\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{E},\angle\text{F}=\angle\text{C},$ and hence $\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{D}$
So, the two triangles are similar.
Since $AB = 3DE$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}\not=\text{DE}$
So, the triangles are not congruent.
Thus, the two triangles are similar, but not cogruent.
