In the given figure, $\frac{QR}{QS} = \frac{QT}{PR}$ and $\angle 1 = \angle 2$. Prove that $\Delta PQS \sim \Delta TQR$.

In $\Delta PQR$, $\angle 1 = \angle 2 \Rightarrow PQ = PR$ [$\frac{1}{2}$ mark]
$\therefore$ In $\Delta PQS$ and $\Delta TQR$
$\frac{QR}{QS} = \frac{QT}{PR} \Rightarrow \frac{QR}{QS} = \frac{QT}{QP}$ [$\frac{1}{2}$ mark]
also $\angle Q = \angle Q$ (Common) [$\frac{1}{2}$ mark]
$\therefore \Delta PQS \sim \Delta TQR$ (by SAS similarity criterion) [$\frac{1}{2}$ mark]
$\therefore$ In $\Delta PQS$ and $\Delta TQR$
$\frac{QR}{QS} = \frac{QT}{PR} \Rightarrow \frac{QR}{QS} = \frac{QT}{QP}$ [$\frac{1}{2}$ mark]
also $\angle Q = \angle Q$ (Common) [$\frac{1}{2}$ mark]
$\therefore \Delta PQS \sim \Delta TQR$ (by SAS similarity criterion) [$\frac{1}{2}$ mark]
