Given: The two circles are congruent if they have the same radii.

To prove: The equal chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres i.e. \angleQPR=\angleYXZ

Proof : 

In $\triangle XYZ$ and $\triangle PQR$,

$QR = YZ$ (Given)

$PQ = XY$ (Radii of congruent circle)

$PR = XZ$ (Radii of congruent circle)

Thus,  $\triangle PQR \cong \triangle X Y Z$ (By SSS rule)

$\angle Q P R=\angle \mathrm{YXZ}$ (CPCT)
