Question -

Inthe given figure, PR > PQ and PS bisects ∠QPR. Prove that ∠PSR>∠PSQ.



Answer -

AsPR > PQ,

∴ ∠PQR > ∠PRQ(Angle opposite to larger side is larger) … (1)

PSis the bisector of ∠QPR.

∴∠QPS = ∠RPS … (2)

∠PSR is the exterior angle of ΔPQS.

∴ ∠PSR = ∠PQR+ ∠QPS … (3)

∠PSQ is the exterior angle of ΔPRS.

∴ ∠PSQ = ∠PRQ+ ∠RPS … (4)

Addingequations (1) and (2), we obtain

∠PQR + ∠QPS > ∠PRQ+ ∠RPS

⇒ ∠PSR > ∠PSQ[Using the values of equations (3) and (4)]
