Solution
Given,
AB = PQ
AM = PN
BC = QR
AM and PN are medium od side BC and QR respectively. ∴BM=12BCQN=12QR∴BM=CN....(BC=QR)
In △ABM and △PQN
AB = PQ .... (given)
AM = PN .... (given)
BM = QN
(1) △ABN≅△PQNbySSS.∠ABM=∠PQN......(CPCT)∴∠ABC=∠PQR.In△ABCand△PQR
AB = PQ .... (given) ∠ABC=∠PQR
BC = QR .... (given) ∴△ABC≅△PQR by SAS Test.
