Expert Answer:
If we match the information given we see that the sides of the two triangles are proportional, but to have the required triangles to be similar we must have the corresponding sides of RPQ and MNS Proportional. If we check the given information, We have 
.
But if we must have triangles RPQ and MNS similar, then we must have 
which is not the given ratio.
So we can conclude that even though the sides of the given triangles are in proportion, the corresponding sides of triangles , RPQ and MNS are not proportional Hence the triangles RPQ and MNS are not similar.
