Answer:

â–³ABC and â–³DEF are similar by SAS Similarity Theorem.

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of SAS Similarity property

Two triangles are said to be similar by SAS Similarity property If two sides are proportional and one corresponding angle congruent .

In â–³ABC and â–³DEF

[tex]\frac{ED}{AB}= \frac{7}{21}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{ED}{AB}= \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

and

[tex]\frac{EF}{BC}= \frac{11}{33}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{EF}{BC}= \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Thus

[tex]\frac{ED}{AB}=\frac{EF}{BC}= \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

∠ABC = ∠DEF  (As given in the figure )

Thus â–³ABC and â–³DEF are similar by SAS Similarity property .
