Detailed Solution

Given, PQ=PR, RS=RQ and ST||QR.
Question ImageIn  PQR,
RPU=PQR+PRQ…(exterior angle property).
PQR=PRQ … (angles opposite to equal sides are equal, PQ=PR).
RPU=PQR+PQR
2PQR=140o
PQR=140o2 PQR=70o ST is parallel to QR and QS is a transversal.
PQR=PST=70o … (corresponding angles) … (1).
PQR=SQR=70o
Now, in  QSR,
 SQR=RSQ=70o … (angles opposite to equal sides are equal, RS=RQ) … (2).
Here, PQ is a straight line.
PST+TSR+RSQ=180o … (straight angle).
From equation (1) and (2),
TSR=180o-70o-70o ⇒ ∠TSR=40o Hence, the correct option is 2.
