    In △PQR\triangle PQR△PQR, QR is extended up to S, so that RS = RP, If ∠RPQ\angle RPQ∠RPQ = 55o55^o55o and ∠PRS\angle PRS∠PRS 
    Question

    In PQR\triangle PQR, QR is extended up to S, so that RS = RP, If RPQ\angle RPQ = 55o55^o and PRS\angle PRS = 110o110^o, then find the measure of PQS\angle PQS.​

    A.

    55o55^o​​

    B.

    65o65^o​​

    C.

    15o15^o​​

    D.

    75o75^o​​

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    △PQR, where QR is extended to S, and RS = RP
    RPQ = 55
    PRS = 110
    Concept Used:
    The external angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
    Solution:   
    From the property of the external angle triangle;
    PRS=QPR+PQR 110°=55°+PQR PQR=11055=55°\angle PRS = \angle QPR + \angle PQR \\ \ \\ 110\degree = 55\degree + \angle PQR \\ \ \\ \angle PQR = 110 - 55 = 55\degree 
    we know that,
    PQR=PQS\angle PQR = \angle PQS​​
    Thus,  PQS=55°\angle PQS = \bf 55\degree​​
