Answer:


\therefore x =2

Explanation:


\triangle TPR \sim \triangle SQR... (given)


\therefore (TP)/(SQ) = (PR)/(QR)


\therefore (TP)/(SQ) = (PQ+QR)/(QR)


\therefore (3)/(x) = (1(1)/(3) +2 (2)/(3))/(2 (2)/(3))


\therefore (3)/(x) = ((4)/(3) + (8)/(3))/((8)/(3))


\therefore (3)/(x) = ((12)/(3))/((8)/(3))


\therefore (3)/(x) = (12)/(8)


\therefore x = (8* 3)/(12)


\therefore x = (24)/(12)


\therefore x =2
