Answer

In Δ PQR,

∠1 = ∠2 (Given)

⇒ PR = PQ (In a triangle sides opposite to equal angles are equal)

In Δ PQS and Δ TQR

⇒ ∠PQS = ∠TQR (Both = ∠1)

Given,

QRQS=QTPR\Rightarrow \dfrac{QR}{QS} = \dfrac{QT}{PR}

Since, PR = PQ.

QRQS=QTPQ\therefore \dfrac{QR}{QS} = \dfrac{QT}{PQ}

∴ Δ PQS ~ Δ TQR (By SAS criterion)

Hence, proved that △ PQS ~ △ TQR.
