Solution

The correct option is A QR

In the figure, PR coincides with PQ + QR Euclid’s 4th axiom says that " Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another ".

Therefore, it can be deduced that PQ + QR = PR.

Now, substituting this value of PR in the given equation PR - PQ =
PQ + QR - PQ = QR

Hence, PR - PQ = QR
