One of the most important and exam oriented question from Chapter name- circles
Topic – Angle properties of circles
Chapter number- 15
This question has been asked in 1994.
In this question we have been given that , O is the centre of the circumcircle of triangle XYZ.
Two tangents at X and Y intersect at T.
Also it is given ∠XTY = 80° and ∠XOZ = 140°, now we have to calculate the value of ∠ZXY.

Question 28(a)
Solution:-
Join OY, OX and OY are the radii of the circle
and XT and YT are the tangents to the circle.
<ZXY=1/2(<ZOY)=120/2=60
