Solution
In ΔPQR,
∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180° ....(angle sum property)
⇒ 4x° + 5x° + 9x° = 180°
⇒ 18x° = 180°
⇒ x = 10
⇒ ∠P = 4x° = 4 x 10° = 40°
∠Q = 5x° = 5 x 10° = 50°
∠QPR = ∠PRS ....(Alternate angles)
And, ∠QPR = 40°
∠PRS = 40°
By exterior angle property,
∠PQR + ∠QPR = ∠PRS + y°
⇒ 40° + 50° = 40° + y°
⇒ y = 50°
