We will apply the method of similar triangles to solve below and verify the theorem used,


(QP)/(YX)=(PR)/(XZ)
\begin{gathered} (12)/(4)=(6)/(2) \\ 3=3 \end{gathered}

The theorem that can be used to verify that the two triangles are similar is SAS theorem.

The two triangles are right angled triangle.

Option D is the correct answer.
