In △MNP and △VWX  ∠M=∠V   (each 90)  ∠N=∠W   (Given in diagram)  by angle−angle criteria of similarity  △MNP∼△VWX  by corresponding part of similar triangles  MNVW=NPWX=PMXV  In diagram, MN=15, NP=39, PM=36  VW=5, WX=13, XV=12  MNVW=155=3  NPWX=3913=3  PMXV=3612=3  The scale factor △VWX → △MNP is 3.  the answer is Yes, △MNP∼△VWX. the scale factor is 3  the option (a) is correct.
