Here,
IN \(\triangle\) PMN
\(\angle\) PMN = 180 - 115 = 65
\(\angle\) PNM = 180 - y - 25 = 155 -y
\(\angle\) MPN = 180 - y
Since, QR || ST
\(\angle\) PMN =\(\angle\) PST = 65
\(\angle\) PNM = \(\angle\) PTS = 155 - y = xIn \(\triangle\) PST,
Sum of all \(\angle\) is = 180
180 - y + 65 + 155 - y = 180
or y = 110
or x = 155 - 110 = 45
