Answer

In parallelogram ABCD,
⇒ ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D = 120° (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° (By angle sum property)
⇒ ∠C + ∠D + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
⇒ 2∠C + 120° + 120° = 360°
⇒ 2∠C + 240° = 360°
⇒ 2∠C = 360° - 240°
⇒ 2∠C = 120°
⇒ ∠C = = 60°.
In parallelogram PQRS,
⇒ ∠S = ∠Q = 70° (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)
In △ OSC,
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠S + ∠C + ∠O = 180°
⇒ 70° + 60° + x = 180°
⇒ 130° + x = 180°
⇒ x = 180° - 130° = 50°.
Hence, x = 50°.
