Answer

When a point (x, y) is reflected across the origin, its image becomes (-x, -y).

So, under this transformation:

  • All angles and side lengths are preserved.

  • The orientation (clockwise/counter-clockwise) is reversed, but the size and shape remain identical.

According to statement 1 : Δ ABC is congruent to Δ A'B'C' because in reflection lengths and angles are preserved.

So, statement 1 is true.

According to statement 2 : Δ ABC is similar to Δ A'B'C' because all congruent triangles are similar.

So, statement 2 is true.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
