Answer : [C]

Given : \Delta ABC\sim \Delta EDF

\therefore \frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{BC}{DF}=\frac{AC}{EF}

Taking the first two terms we get

\therefore \frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{BC}{DF}

by cross multiply we get

AB.DF=BC.ED

Hence option D is correct

Now taking the last two terms we get

\frac{BC}{DF}=\frac{AC}{EF}\Rightarrow BC.EF=DF.AC {By cross multiplication}

Hence option (A) is also correct

Now taking first and last terms, we get

\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{AC}{EF}\Rightarrow AB.EF=AC.ED {By cross multiplication}

Hence option (B) is also correct

By using congruence properties we conclude that only option C is not true.
