Correct Answer: 38°


Solution :
Given: $\angle$QPR = 72° and $\angle$PRS = 110°
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
So, $\angle PQR + \angle QPR =\angle PRS$ 
⇒ $\angle PQR + 72° = 110°$
⇒ $\angle PQR = 110° - 72° = 38°$
Hence, the answer is 38°.
