Given:

P, Q, R, S are points on a circle.

PR and QS intersect at X.

∠QXR = 120°

∠XRS = 10°

Concept Used:

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.

Angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are equal.

Calculation:

qImage680550464c7e19bdc831728b

∠XSR + ∠SRX = 120° [Exaternal angle theorm]

⇒ ∠XSR + 10° = 120°

⇒ ∠XSR = 110°

∠QPR and ∠QSR subtend the same arc QR, therefore ∠QPR  = ∠QSR

⇒ ∠QPR  = 110°

The measure of ∠QPR is 110°.
