Solution:
TP would be parallel to SQ if and only if the angle TPR=SQR
To prove the, we shall use the similarity between the triangle TPR and SQR.
Using the property of similarity, if the the two triangles are similar, then,
TSSR=PQQR
Now we shall check this by putting the values given, we get,
34153516
Hence the line are not parallel.
