Q) Sides AB, BC and the median AD of ∆ ABC are respectively proportional to sides PQ, QR and the median PM of another
∆ PQR. Prove that ∆ ABC ~ ∆ PQR

Ans: 

Given that, In Δ ABC and Δ PQR,

Since AD is median of BC, hence BC = 2BD

Similarly, PM is median of QR, hence QR = 2QM

or 

Δ ABD ~ Δ PQM

Hence, ∠ B = ∠ Q ……………. (i)

Now In Δ ABC and Δ PQR, we know that,

or    (given)

∠ B = ∠ Q        from equation (i)

Now by SAS similarity rule,

Δ ABC ~ Δ PQR……….. Hence proved !
