1. Problem Description

The problem provides a circle PQRSPQRS with center OO. We are given that UQR=68\angle UQR = 68^\circ, TPS=74\angle TPS = 74^\circ, and QSR=40\angle QSR = 40^\circ. The goal is to find the value of PRS\angle PRS.

2. Solution Steps

First, we use the property that the exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the interior opposite angle.
Since PQRSPQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral and UQRUQR is an exterior angle at QQ, we have UPS=UQR=68\angle UPS = \angle UQR = 68^\circ.
Then, since TPS=74\angle TPS = 74^\circ, we can find SPQ\angle SPQ by noting that TPS+SPQ=180\angle TPS + \angle SPQ = 180^\circ (straight line). This is not correct. Since TPSTPS is a straight line, TPS+SPQ=180\angle TPS + \angle SPQ = 180^\circ does not hold true here. We have TPS\angle TPS and UPS\angle UPS and we can use this to find TPU\angle TPU
Since TPS=74\angle TPS = 74^\circ and UPS=68\angle UPS = 68^\circ, we use the fact that SPQ\angle SPQ is supplementary to TPS\angle TPS, where T,P,UT,P,U are collinear.
SPQ=18074=106\angle SPQ = 180^\circ - 74^\circ = 106^\circ.
Since PQRSPQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral, SPQ+SRQ=180\angle SPQ + \angle SRQ = 180^\circ (opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary).
Therefore, SRQ=180SPQ=180106=74\angle SRQ = 180^\circ - \angle SPQ = 180^\circ - 106^\circ = 74^\circ.
We are given QSR=40\angle QSR = 40^\circ.
Now, SRQ=QSR+PRS\angle SRQ = \angle QSR + \angle PRS, so PRS=SRQQSR\angle PRS = \angle SRQ - \angle QSR.
PRS=7440=34\angle PRS = 74^\circ - 40^\circ = 34^\circ.
