Sum of measurement of ∠POR and ∠QOS is 110o. Let’s write the measurement of ∠POS, ∠QOS, ∠QOR and ∠POR.

Let us first find out the pairs of vertically opposite angles from the above given figure.
Now from the above figure,
∠POS is lying opposite to ∠ROQ
So, our first pair of vertically opposite angles are ∠POS and ∠ROQ.
Now when we again observe the figure, we notice that ∠POR and ∠SOQ are also lying opposite to each other.
So, our second pair of vertically opposite angles is ∠POR and ∠SOQ.
Now we know two basic properties of vertically opposite angles which are as follows:
1. Vertically opposite angles are always equal.
So, we can say that ∠POS = ∠ROQ and ∠POR = ∠SOQ
2. Sum of all vertically opposite angles is 360°.
∠POS + ∠ROQ + ∠POR + ∠SOQ = 360° ……... (i)
Now in the question it given that sum of angles ∠POR and ∠SOQ is 110°.
Let ∠POR = ∠SOQ = x [as these both angles are equal]
So, x + x = 110°
2x = 110°
x = 110 / 2
x = 55°
So ∠POR = ∠SOQ = 55°.
Let ∠POS = ∠ROQ = x [as these both angles are equal]
Let us substitute the values in equation (i)
55° + 55° + x + x = 360°
110° + 2x = 360°
2x = 360 – 110
2x = 250
x = 250 / 2
x = 125°
∠POS = ∠ROQ = 125°.
