In the figure below, triangle RST is isosceles with \(\angle{SRT} = \angle{STR} = x\)
Point P has been drawn on RS. \(\angle{SRT} > \angle{PTR}\), i.e x > y.
Hence the side opposite the larger angle has to be larger than the side opposite the smaller angle. So PT > PR
Option B

Hi Arun,
As a boundary condition, the point P can also overlap S. In that case shouldn't option E be the correct alternative.
Thanks
