For both triangles to be similar, the corresponding sides of both triangles are always in the same ratio.

So for the corresponding sides:

1) BA ans SR, the ratio will be


(BA)/(SR)

2)AC and RT, the ratio will be


(AC)/(RT)

3) BC and ST, the ratio will be


(BC)/(ST)

As mentioned above, the ratio between corresponding sides is always the same so that, if the triangles are simmilar the we know that:


(AB)/(RS)=(BC)/(ST)=(AC)/(RT)

The correct option is the first one.
