Answer
Given, Δ ABC and Δ PQR are two congruent triangles.
Corresponding angles and sides are equal.
⇒ ∠A = ∠P, ∠B = ∠Q and ∠C = ∠R
∴ Δ ABC ∼ Δ PQR (By AAA postulate)
So, assertion (A) is true.
Similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
Congruent triangles have the same shape and size.
Size can be different in similar triangles but it has to be same in congruent triangles.
So, reason (R) is false.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
