Correct Answer: Only (i) and (iii)


Solution :
Given: In $\triangle PQR, PQ=QR$ and $O$ is an interior point of $\triangle PQR$ such that $\angle OPR=\angle ORP$.
Since $PQ = QR$, so $\triangle PQR$ is an isosceles triangle.
From the given data we cannot say that $O$ is the centroid of the $\triangle PQR$.
Also, $PQ=QR, OP=OR$ and $OQ=OQ$
So, $\triangle PQO$ and $\triangle RQO$ are congruent.
Hence, the correct answer is Only (i) and (iii).
