Here,
line segments \(RM\), \(SM\), and \(TM\) bisect the angles of \(\triangle RST\)
so,
\(\angle MSR = \angle MST = y\)
\(\angle SRM = \angle TRM = x\)
\(\angle MTR = \angle MTS = 24\)
In \(\triangle RST\),
\(\angle MSR + \angle MST + \angle SRM + \angle TRM + \angle MTR + \angle MTS = 180\)
or \(2y + 2x + 48 =180\)
or\( x + y = 66\)
Now,
QTY A = \(\frac{x+y}{2}\) = \(\frac{66}{2} = 33\)
QTY B = \(33\)
i.e Option C
