A line RT is drawn parallel to SP which intersect QP produced at T.

Given: PS is the bisector of \angle QPR \: \: of\: \: \Delta PQR.

\angle QPS=\angle SPR.....................................1

By construction,

\angle SPR=\angle PRT.....................................2   (as PS||TR)

\angle QPS=\angle QTR.....................................3   (as PS||TR)

From the above equations, we get

\angle PRT=\angle QTR

\therefore PT=PR

By construction, PS||TR

In \triangleQTR, by Thales theorem,

\frac{QS}{SR}=\frac{QP}{PT}

\frac{QS }{SR } = \frac{PQ }{PR }

Hence proved
