Below are supposed to be the choices:

The two tiles are not similar because segment SP is to segment SR is 5 : 1 and segment MJ is to segment ML is 2 : 3.
The two tiles are similar because segment PQ is to segment QR is 1 : 3 and segment JK is to segment KL is also 1 : 3.
The two tiles are similar because segment SR is to segment SP is 3 : 2 and segment ML is to segment MJ is also 3 : 2.
The two tiles are not similar because segment PQ is to segment QR is 1 : 6 and segment JK is to segment KL is 1 : 3.

The answer is the second one.
