Question : In $\triangle P Q R, S$ is a point on the side QR such that $\angle Q P S=\frac{1}{2} \angle P S R, \angle Q P R=78^{\circ}$ and $\angle P R S=44^{\circ}$. What is the measure of $\angle PSQ$?

Option 1: 68$^{\circ}$

 

Option 2: 56$^{\circ}$

Option 3: 58$^{\circ}$

Option 4: 64$^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 64$^{\circ}$

$\angle Q P S=\frac{1}{2} \angle P S R$
Let $\angle PSR = 2\theta$ and $\angle QPS = \theta$
Sum of all the sides of the triangle = $180^{\circ}$
⇒ $\angle QPR  + \angle PRS + \angle RQP = 180^{\circ}$
⇒ $78^{\circ} + 44^{\circ} + \angle
