Detailed Solution

(i)

Question Image

Here, ΔABC and ΔPQR have the same area and are congruent to each other also.
So, from the rule of corresponding parts of congruent triangles(CPCT), we have AB=PQ
BC=QR and CA=PR
Adding above three expressions, we get
AB+BC+CA=PQ+QR+PR
Perimeter of ABC=Perimeter of PQR
Hence, the perimeter of both the triangles will be the same.

(ii)

Question Image

Here, the two triangles have the same height and base. Thus, their areas are equal. However, these triangles are not congruent to each other.
So, their corresponding sides need not be equal, which implies, the perimeter of both the triangles will not be the same.
