It would be better to understand if you draw the triangle yourself on paper

Let <PQS = y
<PRS =x
< QPS = P

< RPS = p'

now we have to find (x-y)

I) y+P = 90
and x+ p' = 90

so (x-y) = P- p'

but the value of P-p' = <QPR = 30

so we can calculate x-y



II) <PRQ = 180-x

so,
<PQR + <PRS = 150
y + (180-x) =150

x-y = 30



Hence Answer is D


Hope this Helps
