(i) $\angle A=\angle P=60 \degree$

$\angle B=\angle Q=80 \degree$

$\angle C=\angle R=40 \degree$

$\therefore \triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$ (By AAA)

So , $\frac{AB}{QR}=\frac{BC}{RP}=\frac{CA}{PQ}$

(ii) As corresponding sides of both triangle are proportional.

$\therefore \triangle ABC \sim \triangle PQR$ (By SSS)

(iii) Given triangles are not similar because corresponding sides are not proportional.

(iv) $\triangle MNL \sim \triangle PQR$ by SAS similarity criteria.

(v) Given triangles are not similar because corresponding angle is not contained by two corresponding sides

(vi) In $\triangle DEF$ , we know that

$\angle D+\angle E+\angle F=180 \degree$

$\Rightarrow 70 \degree+80 \degree+\angle F=180 \degree$

$\Rightarrow 150 \degree+\angle F=180 \degree$

$\Rightarrow \angle F=180 \degree-150 \degree=30 \degree$

In $\triangle PQR$ , we know that

$\angle P+\angle Q+\angle R=180 \degree$

$\Rightarrow 30 \degree+80 \degree+\angle R=180 \degree$

$\Rightarrow 110 \degree+\angle R=180 \degree$

$\Rightarrow \angle R=180 \degree-110 \degree=70 \degree$

$\angle Q=\angle P=70 \degree$

$\angle E=\angle Q=80 \degree$

$\angle F=\angle R=30 \degree$

$\therefore \triangle DEF\sim \triangle PQR$ ( By AAA)
