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°.
