Two angles ∠QPR\angle QPR and ∠RPS\angle RPS share the common arm PRPR and are placed next to each other so that ∠QPR+∠RPS=150∘\angle QPR + \angle RPS = 150^\circ. (i) Explain why ∠QPR\angle QPR and ∠RPS\angle RPS are called adjacent angles. (ii) Using logical reasoning, decide whether the rays PQPQ and PSPS can lie on the same straight line. Give a clear justification for your answer. (iii) State what special name (if any) can be given to the pair ∠QPR\angle QPR and ∠RPS\angle RPS. Support your statement with reasons.
