Answer
We know that,
Angle at the center is double the angle at the circumference subtended by the same chord.
⇒ ∠APB = 2∠ACB
⇒ ∠ACB = ∠APB
⇒ ∠ACB = 150° = 75°.
From figure,
⇒ ∠ACB + ∠BCD = 180° [As ACD is a straight line]
⇒ 75° + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° - 75° = 105°.
Also,
⇒ Reflex ∠BQD = 2∠BCD [Angle at the center is double the angle at the circumference subtended by the same chord.]
⇒ (360° - x) = 2 x 105°
⇒ x = 360° - 210° = 150°.
Hence, x = 150°.
