In Fig 7.51, PR $ > $ PQ and $ \mathrm{PS} $ bisects $ \angle \mathrm{QPR} $. Prove that $ \angle \mathrm{PSR}>\angle \mathrm{PSQ} $.

Given:
$PR > PQ$ and $PS$ bisects $\angle QPR$.
To do:
We have to prove that $\angle PSR > \angle PSQ$.
Solution:
Let us consider $\triangle PQR$
We have,
$PR > PQ$
We know that,
The angle opposite the longer side will always be larger.
This implies,
$\angle PQR > \angle PRQ$...(i)
Since we have, $PS$ bisects $\angle QPR$
We get,
$\angle QPS=\angle RPS$...(ii)
We also that,
The sum of opposite interior angles of a triangle is equal to the exterior angle,
This implies,
In $\triangle PSR$,
$\angle PSR=\angle PQR+\angle QPS$...(iii)
In $\triangle PSQ$,
$\angle PSQ=\angle PRQ+\angle RPS$...(iv)
By adding (i) and (ii)
We get,
$\angle PQR+\angle QPS > \angle PRQ+\angle RPS$
Therefore,
From (i), (ii), (iii), (iv)
We get,
$\angle PSR > \angle PSQ$.
