Solution
It is given that line YQ bisects ∠PYZ.
Hence, ∠QYP = ∠ZYQ
It can be observed that PX is a line. Rays YQ and YZ stand on it.
∴ ∠XYZ + ∠ZYQ + ∠QYP = 180º
⇒ 64º + 2∠QYP = 180º
⇒ 2∠QYP = 180º − 64º = 116º
⇒ ∠QYP = 58º
Also, ∠ZYQ = ∠QYP = 58º
Reflex ∠QYP = 360º − 58º = 302º
∠XYQ = ∠XYZ + ∠ZYQ
= 64º + 58º = 122º
