Solution

(B) Similar but not congruent

In ΔABC and ΔDEF,
B=E,F=C and AB = 3DE



We know that, if in two triangles corresponding two angles are same, then they are similar by AAA similarity criterion.
But ΔABC, and ΔDEF do not satisfy any rule of congruency like SAS, ASA, SSS, so both are not congruent.
