In my opinion the stem is incorrect above.

I asked to see if there is some typo but no answer came from the author

Hello, there's no typo in the stem.

If it was RQ=5cm, then we can say angle Q is 90 degrees.
But RQ=5.2cm here.
Is there any other way to find out Q in this case?

Can we post diagram here? I tried but could not find option.

In triangle PQR <P = 30°

This should be QPR because we are considering first the angle 30 degrees

Can I know the source of the question ? sir

Thank you

But when you post a question ONE thing is to attach the image (in this case a triangle) and ANOTHER thing is to translate into a stem as you did.

It is an entire world of a difference

So in the end the answer is D

In the you posted the question it is completely misleading

If you want post a question you must post as it is give. Also please follow the rules

Thank you

I didn't find an option to post image. So I posted using text.
It would be nice if you can tell me how to post image for next time.
Thanks!

when you create a post or a reply you have this under the frame where you insert your text

make a screenshot, browse it on your PC, and upload on the board.

Open >>> search the file

Double click on it >>>> add the file

Pretty basic
