Solution
Here we have a cyclic quadrilateral PQRS with PR being a diameter of the circle. Let the centre of this circle be ‘O’.
We are given that `angleQPR` and `angleSPR = 72°` . This is shown in fig (2).
So we see that,
\[\angle QPS = \angle QPR + \angle RPS\]
\[ = 67°+ 72° \]
\[ = 139°\]
In a cyclic quadrilateral it is known that the opposite angles are supplementary.
`angleQPS + angleQRS = 180°`
`angleQRS = 180° - angleQPS`
`= 180° - 139°`
= 41°
