Concept used:

The sum of the opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.

∠PSQ = 90° because the angle is in a semi-circle.

Calculation:

∠SPQ = 180° - 110°  = 70° (The sum of the opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral is 180°)

Now, In triangle PQS.

∠PSQ = 90° (Angle in semi-circle)

∠PQS = 180° - ( ∠PSQ +∠QPS)
 

⇒ 180° - (90° + 70°) = 20°

∴ The correct option is 3
