The correct answer is: $p^{2}+r^{2}-q^{2}$
In $\Delta P Q R, P+Q+R=180^{\circ}$
$\begin{aligned} \therefore 2 p r \sin \left(\frac{P-Q+R}{2}\right) &=2 p r \sin \frac{180^{\circ}-Q-Q}{2} \\ &=2 p r \sin \left(90^{\circ}-Q\right) \\ &=2 p r \cos Q \\=&\left(\quad \ln \Delta P Q R \cos Q=\frac{p^{2}+r^{2}-q^{2}}{2 p r}\right) \\=& 2 p r\left(\frac{p^{2}+r^{2}-q^{2}}{2 p r}\right)=p^{2}+r^{2}-q^{2} \end{aligned}$
