Answer
57. Given,
In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
∠AOB = ∠COD [Vertically opposite angle are equal]
∠OAB = ∠OCD [Alternate interior angle are equal]
∴ ΔAOB ∼ ΔCOD (By A.A. axiom)
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
58. Given,
ΔAOB ∼ ΔCOD.Since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal,
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
59. Given,
ΔAOB ∼ ΔCOD. Since the triangles are similar, the ratios the corresponding sides are equal,
