Problem

In △PQR\triangle PQR, points SS and TT are chosen on PQPQ and PRPR respectively so that PS:SQ=PT:TRPS:SQ = PT:TR. (i) Explain with reasons whether the information given is sufficient to conclude that ST∥QRST\parallel QR. (ii) If your answer to part (i) is negative, specify the additional verification that must be carried out before arriving at a conclusion about the parallelism of STST and QRQR. (iii) Name the geometrical principle that finally justifies the conclusion you reach.
