1. **Problem Statement:** In right triangle $PQR$ with right angle at $Q$, segment $QT$ is perpendicular to hypotenuse $PR$. We need to determine which of the given statements must be true.
2. **Key Concept:** When a perpendicular is drawn from the right angle vertex to the hypotenuse in a right triangle, it creates two smaller right triangles, $PTQ$ and $QTR$, each similar to the original triangle $PQR$ and to each other.
3. **Similarity Relations:** By similarity of triangles,
$$\triangle PQR \sim \triangle PTQ \sim \triangle QTR$$
4. **Corresponding sides ratios:** From similarity, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal:
$$\frac{PT}{PQ} = \frac{PQ}{PR} = \frac{TQ}{QR}$$
and
$$\frac{TQ}{PQ} = \frac{QR}{PR} = \frac{TR}{TQ}$$
5. **Geometric Mean Theorem:** The altitude $QT$ to the hypotenuse satisfies:
$$QT^2 = PT \times TR$$
6. **Check given statements:**
- $\frac{PT}{TQ} = \frac{TQ}{TR}$ is true by similarity and geometric mean.
- $\frac{PT}{TR} = \frac{TR}{TQ}$ is not generally true.
- $\frac{PQ}{TQ} = \frac{PR}{PQ}$ is not a standard relation.
- $\frac{PQ}{QR} = \frac{QR}{TR}$ is not a standard relation.
7. **Conclusion:** The statement that must be true is:
$$\frac{PT}{TQ} = \frac{TQ}{TR}$$
This expresses that $TQ$ is the geometric mean between $PT$ and $TR$.
Final answer:
$$\boxed{\frac{PT}{TQ} = \frac{TQ}{TR}}$$
