Detailed Solution

In the figure, AB ∥ CD 

∠PRB = 2x ....... (Given)

As lines, AB and PQ intersect at R, ∠PRB =∠GRS 

⟹ ∠GRS = 2x ...(i)

As, ∠GRS + ∠HSR = 180o ...... (Sum of the interior angle is supplementary)

∠HSR = 3x ....... (Given)

⟹ 2x + 3x = 180o ..(from(i))

⟹ 5x = 180o

⟹ x = 36o 

As ∠EGA = 2x ........ (Given)

∠EGA + ∠EGR = 180o ...(Supplementary Angles)

⟹ 2x + ∠EGR = 180o 

⟹ ∠EGR = 180o − 2x 

Also, ∠GHS = ∠EGR ....... (Corresponding angles are equal) 

⟹ ∠GHS = 180o − 2x 

Putting a value of x = 36o, we get:

∠GHS = 180o −2 × 36 = 180o − 72o = 108o

⟹ ∠GHS = 108o
