Correct Answer :

Option B

70

70

Solution :

Given:

  • ∠PRT = 150°
  • ∠PQR = 80°

Step 1: Find the interior angle at R

Since RT is an extension of PR, ∠PRT is an exterior angle of the triangle.

Therefore,

∠PRQ = 180° − 150° = 30°.

Step 2: Apply the angle sum property of a triangle

In ▵PQR,

∠QPR + ∠PQR + ∠PRQ = 180°

∠QPR + 80° + 30° = 180°

∠QPR = 180° − 110° = 70°.

Answer: 70°
