In the diagram P, Q, R, S are points on the circle RQS = 30^o. PRS = 50^o and PSQ = 20^o. What is the value of x^o + y^o?

260^o

130^o

100^o

80^o

Explanation

Draw a line from P to Q

< PQS = < PRS (angle in the sam segment)

< PQS = 50^o

Also, < QSR = < QPR(angles in the segment)

< QPR = x^o

x + y + 5= = 180(angles in a triangle)

x + y = 180 - 50

x + y = 130^o
