Given:
$PQ \parallel AB$ and $PR \parallel BC$.
$\angle QPR = 102^o$.
To do:
We have to determine $\angle ABC$.
Solution:
Produce $BA$ to meet $PR$ at $D$.

$PQ \parallel AB$
This implies,
$PQ \parallel DB$
Therefore,
$\angle QPR = \angle ADR$ (Corresponding angles)
$\angle ADR = \angle BDR = 102^o$
$\angle BDR + \angle DBC = 180^o$ (Sum of co-interior angles)
$102^o + \angle DBC = 180^o$
$\angle DBC = 180^o - 102^o$
$\angle DBC = 78^o$
This implies,
$\angle ABC = 78^o$.
Hence, $\angle ABC = 78^o$.
