we know that

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle PQR

then

the corresponding sides are proportional

so


(RQ)/(CB) =(RP)/(AC)= (PQ)/(AB)

substitute the values


(p)/(a) =(q)/(b)= (r)/(c)

therefore


(r)/(c)

is equal to


(q)/(b) and
(p)/(a)

the answer is the option B


(p)/(a)

rotate the triangles so r and c line up

when you do that Q=B, a=p, C=R, b=q, A=P


so answer would be B. p:a
