Let's analyze the problem shown in the diagram.

The diagram includes a circle with center \( O \), passing through the points \( P \), \( R \), \( S \), and \( T \). The tangents at points \( P \) and \( R \) to the circle are \( APB \) and \( ARC \), respectively. It is also given that:

- \( \angle PAR = 54^\circ \)
- \( \angle SPT = 27^\circ \)

We are asked to find the following angles:

### (i) \( \angle SRT \)
Since the angle subtended by a tangent and a chord is equal to the angle subtended by the chord on the opposite side of the circle (the alternate segment theorem), we can use the given information:

- \( \angle PAR = 54^\circ \) corresponds to the angle subtended by chord \( PR \) at point \( S \). Therefore, \( \angle SRT = 54^\circ \).

### (ii) \( \angle TOS \)
The angle subtended by the chord at the center of the circle is twice the angle subtended at the circumference by the same chord. This is known as the "angle at the center" theorem.

- \( \angle SPT = 27^\circ \) is subtended by chord \( ST \) at the circumference. Therefore, the angle subtended by \( ST \) at the center \( O \), i.e., \( \angle TOS \), will be twice of \( \angle SPT \):
\[
\angle TOS = 2 \times 27^\circ = 54^\circ
\]

### (iii) \( \angle RPS \)
To find \( \angle RPS \), we can use the fact that the angle subtended by a chord on the circumference on the same side is the same.

- From the diagram, \( \angle RPS \) is subtended by chord \( RS \), and the angle subtended by the same chord at \( T \) is \( \angle SRT = 54^\circ \). Therefore, \( \angle RPS = \angle SRT = 54^\circ \).

### Summary of answers:
1. \( \angle SRT = 54^\circ \)
2. \( \angle TOS = 54^\circ \)
3. \( \angle RPS = 54^\circ \)

### Tip:
Always remember that the angle subtended by a chord at the center of the circle is twice the angle subtended at any point on the circumference. This is key in many circle geometry problems.
