angle suspended at an arc of circle is double to any other angle
so
2∠PRQ is less than 180 degree
so, ∠PRQ is less than 90 degree
therefore, ∠PRQ is an acute angle
as QP is the major arc and ∠PSQ is the angle formed by the alternate segment
2∠PSQ = m (arc PQ)
2∠PSQ =360- m (arc PQ)
2∠PSQ = 360 - ∠POQ
2∠PSQ is greater than 360 -180
∠PSQ is greater than 90
so it is obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:
PSQ is major segment. and PRQ is minor segment in the circle.
we have to prove: angle prq is acute and psq is obtuse.
* Draw op, oq and pq.
We know that-- angle suspended by arc of circle at center is twice the angle suspended at any point on remaining part of the circle.
so, ∠ poq =2∠prq
but , 2∠ poq <180° (∵ ∠ of Δpoq)
∠poq<90°. ----> acute angle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now reflex angle poq = 2∠psq
but ∠ poq >180°.
so 2∠psq >180°
∴∠psq>90° ---->obtuse angle.
