Solution

The correct option is B: trapezium


P:Q:R:S=3:7:6:4 [ Given ]

Let P=3x,Q=7x,R=6x and S=4x.
In quadrilateral PQRS, we have
P+Q+R+S=360 [Sum of all angles of quadrilateral is 360]
3x+7x+6x+4x=360
20x=360
x=18
P=3×18=54
Q=7×18=126
R=6×18=108
S=4×18=72
Now, P+Q=54+126=180
and R+S=108+72=180
If transversal intersects two lines in such a way that a pair of consecutive interior angles are supplementary, then the two lines are parallel.
PSQR
Quadrilateral PQRS is a trapezium.
