This old question is now changed to...
In the missing figure, if X and Y are each less than 90 and PS || QR, is it possible to imagine the missing figure and then deciding whether the length of segment PQ less than the length of segment SR?

1. X > Y
2. X + Y > 90

any ideas

It's difficult to do this one without seeing the image. Anyway, you can find the question at QID 1408. The answer is A because the bigger the angle at the bottom, the shorter the line segment that ties the two parallel lines will be.
