We are given that, 

                                    \small \angle PBC < \angle QCB                                                                                        ......................(i)

Also,                            \angle ABC\ +\ \angle PBC\ =\ 180^{\circ}                    (Linear pair of angles)          .....................(ii)

and                              \angle ACB\ +\ \angle QCB\ =\ 180^{\circ}                    (Linear pair of angles)          .....................(iii)

From (i), (ii) and (iii) we can say that :

                                     \angle ABC\ > \ \angle ACB

Thus   AC\ > AB   ( Sides opposite to the larger angle is larger.)
