Welcome to the forum. You have the accent mark on the wrong letter in your examples. It should be quiénes and cuáles. Once you change that you can look them up in the dictionary here.
That said, ¿quién? = who? and ¿cuál? = which?

Cuál refers to what or which- Quién means who
EX: Cuál es la fecha de hoy? you wouldn't say Quién es la fecha de hoy? Quién es el niño? you wouldn't say Cuál es el niño?
