Correct Answer: 128°
Solution : Given: PQRS is cyclic quadrilateral and PQ is the diameter of the circle and $\angle RPQ=38°$. We know that the sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°. Also, the sum of all the angles in the triangle is 180°. Also, at any point on the circle, the diameter subtends a 90° angle. Since PQ is the diameter of the circle. So, $\angle QRP=90°$.(Angle subtended by the diameter) In $\triangle PRQ$, $\angle RPQ+\angle PQR+\angle QRP=180°$ ⇒ $\angle PQR=180°-90°-38°$ ⇒ $\angle PQR=52°$ Since PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral. So, $\angle PQR+\angle PSR=180°$ ⇒ $\angle PSR=180°-52°$ ⇒ $\angle PSR=128°$ Hence, the correct answer is 128°.
