The true statements are;

1) QRS have a smaller area

2) The triangles are similar but not congruent

Here, we want to get the true statements about the two triangles

From what we have;

QRS was formed by the reflection of ABC and dilation by half unit

The true statements are follows;

a) QRS have a smaller area

Since one of the transforamtion involved a dilation by a unit lesser than one, then the area of the image will be lesser

b) The triangles are similar but not congruent

The shapes are similar because the trasnformation will give exactly the same type of shape. However, since the side lengths are not the same, then we can conclude that the shapes are not congruent

These are the only two true statements
