It is given that in parallelogram PQRS, ∠Q = (4x - 5)° and ∠S = (3x + 10)°.

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal, so:
∠Q = ∠S and ∠R = ∠P.
Therefore,
⇒ (4x - 5)° = (3x + 10)°
⇒ 4x° - 5° = 3x° + 10°
⇒ 4x° - 3x° = 5° + 10°
⇒ 1x° = 15°
So, ∠Q = (4x - 5)°
= (4 15 - 5)°
= (60 - 5)°
= 55°
As we know, the consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.
⇒ ∠Q + ∠R = 180°
⇒ 55° + ∠R = 180°
⇒ ∠R = 180° - 55°
⇒ ∠R = 125°
Hence, ∠Q = 55° and ∠R = 125°.
