Correct Answer: $\frac{4}{5}$
Solution : $\angle$ P = 90° Pythagoras theorem Hypotenuse$^2$ = perpendicular$^2$ + base$^2$ Take the sides as shown in the figure S and T are the midpoints of PR and PQ. QR$^2$ = QP$^2$ + PR$^2$ ⇒ QR$^2$ = 2$^2$ + 2$^2$ ⇒ QR$^2$ = 4 + 4 = 8 ⇒ QR = $2\sqrt{2}$ QS$^2$ = QP$^2$ + PS$^2$ ⇒ QS$^2$ = 2$^2$ + 1$^2$ ⇒ QS$^2$ = 4 + 1 ⇒ QS = $\sqrt{5}$ RT$^2$ = PT$^2$ + PR$^2$ ⇒ RT$^2$ = 1$^2$ + 2$^2$ ⇒ RT$^2$ = 5 ⇒ RT = $\sqrt{5}$ So, $\frac{\text{RQ}^2}{(\text{QS}^2 + \text{RT}^2)}$ = $\frac{(2\sqrt{2})^2}{[(\sqrt{5})^2 + (\sqrt{5})^2]}$ = $\frac{8}{10}$ = $\frac{4}{5}$ $\therefore$ The value of $\frac{\text{RQ}^2}{(\text{QS}^2 + \text{RT}^2)}$ is $\frac{4}{5}$. Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{4}{5}$.
