### (i) Find $ \angle PSR $
# Explanation:
## Step 1: Recall the property of angles in a semicircle
Since $ PS $ is a diameter, $ \angle PRS = 90^\circ $ (angle in a semicircle is a right angle). In triangle $ PRS $, we know $ \angle SPR = 43^\circ $ and $ \angle PRS = 90^\circ $. The sum of angles in a triangle is $ 180^\circ $, so $ \angle PSR=180^\circ - \angle SPR - \angle PRS $.
## Step 2: Calculate $ \angle PSR $
Substitute the values: $ \angle PSR = 180^\circ - 43^\circ - 90^\circ = 47^\circ $.
# Answer: $ 47^\circ $

### (ii) Find $ \angle PRQ $
# Explanation:
## Step 1: Recall the property of angles subtended by the same arc
Angles subtended by the same arc $ PQ $ are equal. $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSQ $ (or $ \angle PSR $ related? Wait, actually, $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSR $ are subtended by arc $ PR $? Wait, no. Wait, $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSR $: Wait, actually, $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSR $ are equal because they subtend arc $ PQ $? Wait, no, let's think again. Since $ P, Q, R, S $ are on the circle, $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSQ $ (but $ \angle PSR $ is $ 47^\circ $, and $ \angle PRQ $ is equal to $ \angle PSR $ because they subtend arc $ PR $? Wait, no, actually, $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSR $ are equal as they subtend arc $ PQ $? Wait, maybe a better way: $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSR $ are angles in the same segment. So $ \angle PRQ=\angle PSR $.
## Step 2: Use the result from (i)
From (i), $ \angle PSR = 47^\circ $, so $ \angle PRQ = 47^\circ $. Wait, no, wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, $ \angle SPR = 43^\circ $, $ \angle PSR = 47^\circ $, and $ \angle PRQ $: Wait, actually, $ \angle PRQ $ is equal to $ \angle PSR $ because they subtend arc $ PQ $. Wait, maybe another approach: $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSR $ are in the same segment, so they are equal. So $ \angle PRQ = 47^\circ $? Wait, no, let's check again. Wait, $ \angle PRQ $: since $ PS $ is diameter, $ \angle PRS = 90^\circ $, and $ \angle PRQ $ is part of it? No, $ Q $ is another point. Wait, maybe $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSR $ are equal because they subtend arc $ PQ $. Alternatively, $ \angle PRQ = \angle PSR $ (angles in the same segment). So since $ \angle PSR = 47^\circ $, $ \angle PRQ = 47^\circ $? Wait, maybe I messed up. Wait, let's re - examine. The triangle $ PRS $ has $ \angle SPR = 43^\circ $, $ \angle PRS = 90^\circ $, so $ \angle PSR = 47^\circ $. Now, $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSR $ subtend arc $ PQ $, so they are equal. So $ \angle PRQ = 47^\circ $.
# Answer: $ 47^\circ $ (Wait, maybe I made a mistake here. Let's think again. Wait, $ \angle PRQ $: actually, $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSQ $ (but $ S $ and $ Q $): No, $ \angle PRQ $ and $ \angle PSR $ are in the same segment (segment $ PR $), so they should be equal. So I think it's $ 47^\circ $)

### (iii) Find $ \angle PTQ $
# Explanation:
## Step 1: Recall the property of tangent and radius
The tangent at $ Q $ is perpendicular to the radius $ OQ $, so $ \angle OQT = 90^\circ $. We know $ \angle TOQ = 68^\circ $. In triangle $ TOQ $, the sum of angles is $ 180^\circ $, so $ \angle PTQ=180^\circ - \angle OQT - \angle TOQ $.
## Step 2: Calculate $ \angle PTQ $
Substitute the values: $ \angle PTQ = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 68^\circ = 22^\circ $.
# Answer: $ 22^\circ $

### (iv) Find $ \angle RQO $
# Explanation:
## Step 1: Find $ \angle POQ $
First, $ \angle TOQ = 68^\circ $, so $ \angle POQ = 180^\circ - 68^\circ = 112^\circ $ (linear pair). $ OQ = OR $ (radii of the circle), so triangle $ OQR $ is isosceles? Wait, no, first find $ \angle OPQ $: Wait, $ OP = OQ $ (radii), so triangle $ OPQ $ is isosceles. $ \angle OPQ=\angle OQP $. But maybe another approach. We know $ \angle SPR = 43^\circ $, $ \angle PSR = 47^\circ $, and $ \angle POQ = 112^\circ $. Wait, $ \angle ROQ $: $ \angle POR $: in triangle $ POR $, $ OP = OR $ (radii), so $ \angle OPR=\angle ORP = 43^\circ $, so $ \angle POR = 180^\circ - 43^\circ - 43^\circ = 94^\circ $. Then $ \angle ROQ=\angle POQ-\angle POR = 112^\circ - 94^\circ = 18^\circ $. Now, in triangle $ OQR $, $ OQ = OR $ (radii), so it's isosceles. Let $ \angle RQO=\angle QRO = x $. Then $ x + x+\angle ROQ = 180^\circ $, so $ 2x+18^\circ = 180^\circ $, $ 2x = 162^\circ $, $ x = 81^\circ $? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, maybe my approach is wrong. Let's start over.

Wait, $ \angle SPR = 43^\circ $, $ OP = OR $, so $ \angle ORP=\angle OPR = 43^\circ $, so $ \angle POR = 180 - 43 - 43=94^\circ $. $ \angle TOQ = 68^\circ $, so $ \angle POQ = 180 - 68 = 112^\circ $. Then $ \angle ROQ=\angle POQ-\angle POR = 112 - 94 = 18^\circ $. Now, $ OQ = OR $, so triangle $ OQR $ is isosceles with $ OQ = OR $, so $ \angle RQO=\angle QRO $. The sum of angles in triangle $ OQR $ is $ 180^\circ $, so $ \angle RQO=\frac{180^\circ-\angle ROQ}{2}=\frac{180 - 18}{2}=81^\circ $? Wait, but that seems off. Wait, maybe another way. $ \angle PSR = 47^\circ $, $ \angle PQR = 180^\circ - 47^\circ = 133^\circ $ (opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral? No, $ PQRS $ is cyclic, so $ \angle PQR+\angle PSR = 180^\circ $, so $ \angle PQR = 133^\circ $. $ \angle OQR $: $ OQ = OR $, and $ \angle POQ = 112^\circ $, $ \angle POR = 94^\circ $, $ \angle ROQ = 18^\circ $. Wait, maybe I made a mistake in calculating $ \angle ROQ $. Let's check $ \angle POQ $: $ TQ $ is tangent, so $ \angle OQT = 90^\circ $, $ \angle TOQ = 68^\circ $, so $ \angle PTQ = 22^\circ $ (from part iii). Also, $ \angle OPQ $: in triangle $ PTQ $, $ \angle PTQ = 22^\circ $, $ \angle PQT = 90^\circ - \angle OQP $. Wait, $ OP = OQ $, so $ \angle OPQ=\angle OQP $. Let $ \angle OPQ = y $, then in triangle $ PTQ $, $ y+\angle PTQ+\angle PQT = 180^\circ $, and $ \angle PQT = 90^\circ - y $ (since $ \angle OQT = 90^\circ $). So $ y + 22^\circ+(90^\circ - y)=112^\circ$, which checks out. Now, $ \angle SPR = 43^\circ $, so $ \angle OPQ = \angle SPR + \angle RPQ $? No, $ \angle SPR = 43^\circ $, $ \angle OPQ $ is equal to $ \angle OQP $. Wait, maybe the correct way to find $ \angle RQO $ is: $ \angle OQR $: since $ OQ = OR $, and $ \angle ROQ = 180^\circ - 2\angle RQO $. But we know that $ \angle PRQ = 47^\circ $ (from part ii), and $ \angle OQR=\angle PRQ+\angle OPR $? No, $ \angle OPR = 43^\circ $, $ \angle PRQ = 47^\circ $, so $ \angle OQR = 43^\circ + 47^\circ = 90^\circ $? No, that's not right. Wait, I think I messed up the earlier steps. Let's try again.

Since $ PS $ is a diameter, $ O $ is the center, so $ OP = OQ = OR = OS $ (radii). $ \angle SPR = 43^\circ $, so in triangle $ OPR $, $ OP = OR $, so $ \angle ORP=\angle OPR = 43^\circ $, so $ \angle POR = 180 - 43 - 43 = 94^\circ $. $ \angle TOQ = 68^\circ $, so $ \angle POQ = 180 - 68 = 112^\circ $. Then $ \angle ROQ=\angle POQ - \angle POR = 112 - 94 = 18^\circ $. Now, in triangle $ OQR $, $ OQ = OR $, so $ \angle RQO=\angle QRO $. So $ \angle RQO=\frac{180 - 18}{2}=81^\circ $. Wait, but let's check with another method. The angle between tangent $ TQ $ and chord $ QP $ is equal to the angle in the alternate segment. So $ \angle TQP=\angle QSP $. $ \angle QSP = \angle PSR = 47^\circ $ (since $ R $ and $ Q $ are on the circle). Wait, $ \angle TQP = 47^\circ $, and $ \angle OQT = 90^\circ $, so $ \angle OQP = 90^\circ - 47^\circ = 43^\circ $. Since $ OQ = OP $, triangle $ OQP $ is isosceles with $ \angle OPQ=\angle OQP = 43^\circ $, which matches $ \angle SPR = 43^\circ $ (since $ \angle OPQ=\angle SPR $). Now, $ \angle ROQ = 18^\circ $ (as calculated), and $ OQ = OR $, so $ \angle RQO=\frac{180 - 18}{2}=81^\circ $. Yes, that seems correct.
