Given:

PQRS is a cyclic trapezium where PQ is parallel to RS.

PQ is the diameter & ∠QPR = 40° 

Concept:

Angle made in a semicircle is a right angle. 

The sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic trapezium is 180°.

Calculation:

In triangle PQR, 

∠RPQ + ∠RQP + ∠QRP = 180°  [Angle sum property] 

⇒ 40° + ∠RQP + 90° = 180° 

⇒ ∠RQP = 180° - 130° = 50° 

∠RQP + ∠PSR = 180° [Supplementary Angles]

∴ ∠PSR = 180° - 50° = 130°
