Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.
When considering similar triangles, we need congruent angles and proportional sides.
Hence
"Angles B and B' are congruent, and angles C and C' are congruent." is sufficient to prove similarity of two triangles.
"Segments AC and A'C' are congruent, and segments BC and B'C' are congruent." does not prove anything because we know nothing about the angles.
"Angle C=C', angle B=B', and segments BC and B'C' are congruent." would prove ABC is congruent to A'B'C' if and only if AB is congruent to A'B' (not just proportional).
"<span>Segment BC=B'C', segment AC=A'C', and angles B and B' are congruent</span>" is not sufficient to prove similarity nor congruence because SSA is not generally sufficient.
To conclude, the first option is sufficient to prove similarity (AAA)
One minute later at 8:01pm. One lighthouse will flash 3 times (at 20, 40 and 60 seconds)...the other will flash twice (at 30 and 60 seconds). So they will both flash 60 seconds later, at 8:01
