Since PS||RQ,
∠PSO=∠QRO, and∠OPS=∠OQR
Also, ∠POS=∠QOR (vertically opposite angles).
Thus, △OQR~△OPS⇒OQOR=OPOS
⇒OQOR=OPOR [∵OR=OS as it is given that O bisects RS]⇒OQ=OP
⇒O is the midpoint of PQ.
⇒O is the centre of the circle.
Now, since RS passes through O, it means that RS passes through the centre of the circle.
⇒RS is a diameter of the circle.
Hence Proved
