I can't remember the answer sorry
Answer:
☞Congruence of triangles:
Two ∆’s are congruent if sides and angles of a triangle are equal to the corresponding sides and angles of the other ∆.
In Congruent Triangles corresponding parts are always equal and we write it in short CPCT i e, corresponding parts of Congruent Triangles.
It is necessary to write a correspondence of vertices correctly for writing the congruence of triangles in symbolic form.
☞Criteria for congruence of triangles:
There are 4 criteria for congruence of triangles.
☞SAS( side angle side):
Two Triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of a triangle are equal to the two sides and included angle of the the other triangle.
☞SSS(side side side):
Three sides of One triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle then the two Triangles are congruent.
=========================================
We know that median bisects opposite side. Use this property and then show that given parts by using SSS and SAS congruence rule.

☞Solution:
☞Given:
AM is the median of ∆ABC & PN is the median of ∆PQR.
AB = PQ, BC = QR & AM = PN
☞To Show:
(i) ΔABM ≅ ΔPQN
(ii) ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR
☞Proof:
Since AM & PN is the median of ∆ABC
☞(i) 1/2 BC = BM &
1/2QR = QN
(AM and PN are median)
Now,
BC = QR. (given)
⇒ 1/2 BC = 1/2QR
(Divide both sides by 2)
⇒ BM = QN
In ΔABM and ΔPQN,
AM = PN (Given)
AB = PQ (Given)
BM = QN (Proved above)
Therefore,
ΔABM ≅ ΔPQN
(by SSS congruence rule)
∠B = ∠Q (CPCT)
☞(ii) In ΔABC & ΔPQR,
AB = PQ (Given)
∠B = ∠Q(proved above in part i)
BC = QR (Given)
Therefore,
ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR
( by SAS congruence rule)
