Answer:

A, C, D

Explanation:

Consider right triangles PQS, PRQ and QRS. In these triangles,


m\angle QPS=m\angle QPR=m\angle SQR\\ \\m\angle QSR=m\angle PQR=m\angle QSR

So, by AA theorem,


\triangle PQS\sim \triangle PRQ\sim \triangle QRS

From this statement, strictly follow options A and D


\triangle PQR\sim \triangle PSQ\\ \\\triangle PQS\sim \triangle QRS

Option B is false, because PRS is not a triangle

Option C is true, because


\triangle PRQ\sim \triangle QRS\Rightarrow \triangle PQR\sim \triangle QSR
