In the given figure, PQ = PS = SR and ∠QPS = 40°, then what is the value of ∠QPR (in degrees)?

A. 45
B. 60
C. 75
D. 50
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)

∠PQS = ∠PSQ = $$\frac{{{{180}^ \circ } - {{40}^ \circ }}}{2}$$ = 70°
∠PSR = 180° - 70° = 110°
∠SPR = ∠SRP = $$\frac{{{{180}^ \circ } - {{110}^ \circ }}}{2}$$ = 35°
∠QPR = ∠QPS + ∠SPR
= 40° + 35°
= 75°
