Solution

The correct option is B 80
Sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal is 180°.
AB ∥ CD and PQ is the transversal
So, CQP+APQ=180°
140°+x=180°
x=180°140°
x=40°
Similarly, AB ∥ CD and PR is the transversal
So, BPR+DRP=180°
z+130°=180°
z=180°130°
z=50°

x+y+z=180° [Linear pair of angles]
So,
40°+y+50°=180°
y+90°=180°
y=180°90°
y=90°
x+yz=40°+90°50°=80°
