Solution
Given: AB = PQ ; BC = QR ; AD = PS
To prove: ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR
Proof:
BC = QR
2 BD = 2 QS
BD = QS ...(i)
In Δ ABD and Δ PQS
AB = PQ ...[Given]
BD = QS ...[From equation (i)]
AD = PS ...[Given]
∴ ΔABD ≅ ΔPQS ...[by SSS rule]
Then, ∠B = ∠Q ...[by CPCTC] ...(ii)
In ΔABC and ΔPQR
AB = PQ ...[Given]
∠B = ∠Q ...[ii]
BC = QR ...[Given]
∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR ...[by SAS rule]
Hence proved.
