उत्तर

ΔABC is greater.

Explanation:

Similar triangles have corresponding sides in the same ratio, so the scale factor from ΔABC to ΔPQR is:

`(PR)/(AC) = 5/7 (< 1)`

Meaning each side of ΔPQR is `5/7` of the corresponding side of ΔABC.

Areas scale as the square of the side ratio, so:

`(Area(PQR))/(Area(ABC)) = (5/7)^2 = 25/49 < 1`

Therefore, ΔABC is greater.
