Hint: To solve this variety of triangle, given to use a similar triangle concept. Similar triangles, two figures having the same shape (but not necessarily the same size) are called similar figures.
Two triangles are said to be similar, if
Their corresponding angles are equal and
Their corresponding sides are in the same ratio proportion.
Check the two conditions for all parts [(1) to (6)]whether we get similar or not.

Complete step-by-step answer:
1. Given in ΔABC and ΔPQR
The corresponding angles are
∠A=∠P=60∘
∠B=∠Q=80∘
∠C=∠R=40∘
By AAA similarity, ΔABC and ΔPQR is similar
This is ΔABC∼ΔPQR
2. In ΔABCand ΔQRP
The sides are
 AB=2, BC=2.5,CA=3
QR=4, RP=5, PQ=6
Thus, ΔABC and ΔQRP Corresponding sides are in the same ratio, that is,
ABQR=24=12
ACQP=36=12
BCRP=2.55=12
Hence, ABQR=ACQP=BCRP=12
By SSS similarity, ΔABC and ΔQRP is similar
This is ΔABC∼ΔQRP
3. In ΔMPL and ΔEDF
The sides are
MP=2,PL=3,LM=2.7
ED=4,DF=6,FE=5
Thus,
ΔMPL and ΔEDF corresponding sides are not in the same ratio, that is,
MPED=24=12
PLDF=36=12
LMFE=2.75
Hence, the ratio is not here, the corresponding sides of both the triangles not in the same ratio. And also corresponding angles are not given. Therefore, ΔMPL is not similar ΔEDF.
4. In ΔMNL and ΔQPR
The corresponding angles are
∠M=70∘
∠Q=70∘
Now, the corresponding sides are
MNQP=2.55=12
MLQR=510=12
so, MNPQ=MLQR=12
By, SAS Similarity, ΔMNL and ΔQPR are similar
This is, ΔMNL∼ΔQPR
5. In ΔACB and ΔFDE
The corresponding angles are
∠A=80∘
∠F=80∘
The corresponding sides are
ABFD=2.55=12
ACFE=AC6
So the sides are not corresponding because of AC is not given
We cannot say the two triangles are under any of SAS,SSS,AAA similarity.
So, ΔACB and ΔFDE are not similar.
6. InΔDEF and ΔPQR
Here, the two triangles have only angles, for that we compare to similar triangles for corresponding angles are same or not. For that, There is one angle we need to find either ∠F or ∠P.
Now, we find ∠P for ΔPQR
The angles are ∠Q=80∘∠R=30∘
We know that, sum of the angles of the triangle is 180∘
∠P+∠Q+∠R=180∘
∠P+80∘+30∘=180∘
∠P+110∘=180∘
∠P=180∘−110∘
∠P=70∘
In ΔDEF
∠D=∠P=70∘∠E=∠Q=80∘
By, AAsimilarity ΔDEF and ΔPQR are similar
Which is, ΔDEF∼ΔPQR
Hence, we can say (i),(ii),(iv),(vi) are similar triangles
The similarity criterion using is, SAS,SSS,AAA,AA
Symbolic form of triangles:
 Î”ABC∼ΔPQR,ΔABC∼ΔQRP,ΔMNL∼ΔQPR,ΔDEF∼ΔPQR

Note: If two triangles, corresponding angles are equal, then their corresponding sides are same ratio and hence the two triangles are similar (AAA similarity)
Also, if two angles of triangle are respectively equal to the two angles of another triangle, then the two triangles are similar (AA similarity)
If two triangles, sides of one triangle are proportional to the sides of the others triangle, then their corresponding angles are equal and hence the two triangles are similar (SSSsimilarity)
If one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle of the other triangle and the sides including these angles are proportional, then the two triangles are similar (SAS similarity)
Here,SAS,SSS,AAA,AA we are using this are called properties or similarities of similar triangles.
