Answer

From figure,

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral as all vertices lie on the circumference of the circle.

Sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral = 180°

⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 30° + p = 180°
⇒ p = 180° - 30°
⇒ p = 150°.

∠BAD = ∠BED (∵ angles in same segment are equal.)

⇒ r = 30°.

Arc BD subtends ∠BAD at point A and ∠BOD at center.

∠BOD = 2∠BAD (∵ angle subtended by an arc at center is double the angle subtended at any other point of the circle.)

q = 2 × 30°
q = 60°.

Hence, the value of p = 150°, q = 60° and r = 30°.
