Given : 

S is the mid point.

And PS = SR

∠Q = 48° 

Calculation : 

F2 Vinanti Engineering 13.09.23 D1

Since, SR = PS and QS = SR 

So, PS = SR = QS

In ΔPQS,

∠Q = 48° , ∠P = 48°

⇒ ∠Q + ∠P + ∠S = 180° 

⇒ ∠S = 180° - 96° = 84° 

Now, ∠QSP + ∠PSR = 180° 

⇒ 84° + ∠PSR = 180° 

⇒ ∠PSR = 180° - 84° = 96° 

In ΔPSR,

⇒ ∠P + ∠S + ∠R = 180° 

⇒ 96° + x + x = 180° 

⇒ 2x = 180° - 96° = 84° 

⇒ x = 42° 

∠SPR = 42° 

∴ The correct answer is 42°.
