Given: Triangles ABC and DEF are given such that


\begin{gathered} \angle A=111\degree \\ \angle B=52\degree \\ \angle D=111\degree \\ \angle F=17\degree \end{gathered}

Required: To determine the similarity of the given triangles.

Explanation: Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are equal.

In triangle ABC, we have-


\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180\degree\text{ ...}(\text{Angle sum property})

Thus,


\begin{gathered} \angle C=180\degree-111\degree-52\degree \\ \angle C=17\degree \end{gathered}

Now, in triangles ABC and DEF, we have


\begin{gathered} \angle A=\angle D \\ \angle C=\angle F \end{gathered}

Therefore, by the AA rule of similarity


\Delta ABC\approx\Delta DEF

Final Answer: Option C is correct.
