To prove : < POQ = 2 < PRQ.
To construct : Extend OR passing through center of circle.
Proof : Please refer to attachment above.
Concept used : Exterior angle property whivh states that sum of two interior opposite angle is equal to one exterior angle.
Mathematically, ext. < = opp. [ < interior + < interior ]
