In the given rectangle LMNO, it is given that MN=4 and ON=10.
In the rectangle RSTU, UT=3 and ST=8.
Rectangles LMNO and RSTU are similar if $\frac{O N}{S T} = \frac{M N}{U T}$
Now,
$\frac{O N}{S T} = \frac{10}{8}$
$= \frac{5}{4}$
$\frac{M N}{U T} = \frac{4}{3}$
$\frac{O N}{S T} \neq \frac{M N}{U T}$
So, rectangles LMNO and RSTU are not similar
