MCQ
In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{PQR},$ it is given that $AB = AC, \angle\text{C}=\angle\text{P}$ and $\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{Q}.$ Then, the two triangles are:
  • Isosceles but not congruent
  • B
    Isosceles and congruent
  • C
    Congruent but not isosceles
  • D
    Neither congruent nor isosceles

Answer

Correct option: A.
Isosceles but not congruent
In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{PQR},$
$\text{AB = AC}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{C}$
Since $\angle\text{C}=\angle\text{P}$ and $\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{Q}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{P}=\angle\text{Q}$
$\Rightarrow\text{RQ = RP}$
So, the two triangle are isosceles.
But it is not possible to prove them congruent.
