Solution
l || m ...[Given]
AC is a transversal.
So, ∠DAC = ∠ACB ...[Alternate angles]
p || q ...[Given]
AC is a transversal.
So, ∠BAC = ∠ACD ...[Alternate angles]
Now, △ABC and △CDA,
∠ACB = ∠DAC ...[Proved above]
∠BAC = ∠ACD ...[Proved above]
AC = AC ...[Common]
△ABC ≌ △CDA ...[By AAS congruence rule]
