Solution
The correct option is A△XYZ∼△RQP In the above figure, lets do some construction bny extending all the sides of △PQR meeting at sides of △XYZ.
So, we can see that ∠Y=∠Q(first corresponding and then alternate as shown by black color).
Similarly, ∠X=∠Rand∠Z=∠P(shown by red and green color respectively)
Hence, △XYZ~△RQP (AAA)
So, option (a) correct.
