Correct Answer: $60^{\circ}$


Solution :
Since $\triangle PQR$ is an equilateral triangle,
$\angle PQR = \angle QRP = \angle RPQ = 60°$
Angles subtended by a chord on the same side of a circle are equal.
Here, $\angle QRP$ and $\angle PSQ$ are angles subtended on the circle by chord $PQ$.
So, $\angle PSQ = \angle QRP = 60°$
Hence, the correct answer is $60^{\circ}$.
