Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3. i.e. 30°.

Given, that PQR is an equilateral triangle

So, all the angles of triangle PQR are 60°

∠PRQ and ∠PSQ are on the same side of arc PQ

∠PRQ = ∠PSQ = 60°

The value of 12\frac 1 2 ∠PSQ = 12\frac 1 2  × 60 = 30°
