Solution

We have,

In ΔABCandΔPQR

Given that, BandQ are acute angles

AC=k×PRandAB=k×PQ

From ΔACB

By Pythagoras theorem,

AB2=AC2+BC2

(k×PR)2=(k×PQ)2+BC2

k2×PR2=k2×PQ2+BC2

BC2=k2×PR2k2×PQ2

BC2=k2[PR2PQ2]

BC=kPR2PQ2

From right angle triangle PRQ,

Using Pythagoras theorem,

We have,

PQ2=PR2+QR2

QR2=PQ2PR2

Hence,

ΔACBΔPRQ(S.S.S.similaritytriangle)

B=Q

Hence, this is the answer.
