Correct Answer: $40^{\circ}$


Solution : Given: $\angle POR = 100^\circ$
Now, POQ is a straight line.
⇒ $\angle POR + \angle QOR = 180^\circ$
⇒ $100^\circ+\angle POR = 180^\circ$
⇒ $\angle POR = 180^\circ- 100^\circ = 80^\circ$
Theorem:
The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
⇒ $\angle PSR = \frac{80^\circ}{2} = 40^\circ$
Hence, the correct answer is $40^\circ$.
