Detailed Solution

Here, we need to find congruence between the given triangles.
Now in option (1),
ΔABC and ΔDEF in which AB = PQ, BC = QR and ∠C = ∠R.
So, the figure for these triangles is
4457(1.jfifFrom the figure we can see that the given triangles are not congruent.
Also, in option (2)
ΔABC and ΔLMN are given in which ∠A = ∠L = 900, AB = LM , ∠C=400 and ∠M = 500.
In ΔABC , ∠A = 900 and ∠C = 400 and the sum of all angles of a triangle is 1800.
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 1800
800 + ∠B + 400 = 1800
∴ ∠B = 1800 800 400
∴ ∠B = 600s
And in ΔLMN, ∠L = 900 and ∠M = 500 and the sum of all angles of a triangle is 1800 .
∴ ∠L + ∠N + ∠M = 1800
900 + ∠N + 500 = 1800
∴ ∠N = 1800 900 500
∴ ∠N = 400
So, the figure for these triangles is
seoThus, from the figure we can say that the triangles ΔABC and ΔDEF are congruent to each other by AAA postulate.
So, ΔABC ≅ ΔLMN.
In option (3) two triangles ΔABC and ΔDEF are given in which ∠B = ∠E = 500 and AC = DF.
So, figure for these triangles is
seoThus, from the figure we can say that these triangles are not congruent.
So, ΔABC and ΔDEF are not congruent.
Thus, option (2) is the correct answer.
