Join PS.
∠PSQ = 90°
(Angle in a semicircle)
Also, $\angle S P R=\frac{1}{2} \angle R O S$
(Angle ate the centre is double the angle at the circumference subtended by the same chord)
$\Rightarrow S P T=\frac{1}{2} \times 42^{\circ}=21^{\circ}$
∴ In right triangle PST,
∠PTS = 90° -∠SPT
⇒ ∠RTS = 90°- 21° = 69°
