Question:

S and T are points on the sides PQ and PR, respectively of ΔPQR such that PS × PR = PQ × PT. If ∠Q = 94° and ∠PST + ∠PRQ = 32°, then ∠QPR = ?

Options:

22°

24°

30°

62°

Correct Answer:

24°

Explanation:

In ΔPQR

PS ×PR = PQ × PT

\(\frac{PQ}{PR}\) = \(\frac{PS}{PT}\)

as ST || QR ⇒ ∠PST = ∠PQR

Let ∠PRQ = x° ∴ ∠PST = x + 32°

⇒ x + 32° = 94°

⇒ x = 62°

∠QPR = 180° - 62° - 94° = 24°
