The question, in short

P, Q and R are points on a circle with QR as a diameter and angle PQR = 74°. Find angle PRQ, giving geometrical reasons.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 2 marks

  1. 1Angle QPR = 90°, because the angle in a semicircle = 90°
  2. 2Angle PRQ = 180 − 90 − 74, because the angle sum of a triangle = 180°
  3. 3Angle PRQ = 16°
