Answer

In Δ ABC and Δ PQR,

$\dfrac{AB}{QR} = \dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{BC}{PR} = \dfrac{2.5}{5} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{AC}{PQ} = \dfrac{3}{6} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

Since,

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{AB}{QR} = \dfrac{BC}{PR} = \dfrac{AC}{PQ} = \dfrac{1}{2}$ .

Hence, Δ ABC ~ Δ PQR by S.S.S. axiom.
