Answer 
Tasneem
(i) ∠A = ∠P = 60°
∠B = ∠Q = 80°
∠C = ∠R = 40°
Therefore, ΔABC ∼ ΔPQR [By AAA similarity criterion]
(iii)The given triangles are not similar as the corresponding sides are not proportional.
(iv) In ? MNL and ? QPR,
v)The given triangles are not similar as the corresponding sides are not proportional.
(vi) In ΔDEF,
∠D +∠E +∠F = 180º
(Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180º.)
70º + 80º +∠F = 180º
∠F = 30º
Similarly, in ΔPQR,
∠P +∠Q +∠R = 180º
(Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180º.)
∠P + 80º +30º = 180º
∠P = 70º
In ΔDEF and ΔPQR,
∠D = ∠P (Each 70°)
∠E = ∠Q (Each 80°)
∠F = ∠R (Each 30°)
∴ ΔDEF ∼ ΔPQR [By AAA similarity criterion]
∠M = ∠Q = 70°
∴?MNL ~ ?QPR [By SAS similarity criterion]
