Solution

The correct option is B False
Given: AB=PQ,BC=QR,AD=PS
To prove : ABCPQR
Since, BC=QR
12BC=12QR
BD=QS..(I)
Now, In ABD and PQS
AB=PQ (given)
BD=QS (From I)
AD=PS (Given)
thus, ABDPQS (SSS rule)
Hence, B=Q (By cpct) ...(II)
Now, In ABC and PQR
AB=PQ (Given)
BC=QR (Given)
B=Q (From II)
thus, ABCPQR (SAS rule)
