Clarification: Negation of all angles is ‘not all angles’. So, negation of the given statement is “There is at least one angle different in equilateral triangle”, “It is false that all angles are equal in equilateral triangle”, “It is not the case that all angles are equal in equilateral triangle”. But “All angles are unequal in equilateral triangle” cannot be the negation of given statement as this does not include isosceles triangles.
