Given that

The figure is like

Step-by-step explanation -

Here in the given figure, the values that are given are

angle YAQ = 136

angle ABC = 121

angle RCX = x

Since PQ is parallel to RS and Y is the transversal. Then,

angle YAQ = angle BDS = 136, as they are corresponding angles.

angle RCX = angle BCD = x, as they are vertically opposite angles.

Also, the sum of angles ABC and CBD will be 180 degrees

and the sum of angles BDC and BDS will be 180 as they both are linear pairs of angles.

ABC + CBD = 180

121 + CBD = 180

CBD = 180 - 121 = 59

And

BDC + BDS = 180

BDC + 136 = 180

BDC = 180 - 136 = 44

Now the angles of triangle are BCD, CBD, BDC and their sum is 180 degrees.

BDC + CBD + BCD = 180

44 + 59 + x = 180

x = 180 - 59 - 44 = 77

x = 77

Hence option A is correct.

Final answer -

So the final answer is 77
