Correct Answer: 40°


Solution :
$\angle $YXZ + $\angle $YMZ = 150°
⇒ $\angle $YMZ = 150° – $\angle $YXZ
M is the incentre,
⇒ $\angle $YMZ = 90° + $\frac{1}{2}\angle $YXZ
⇒ 150° – $\angle $YXZ = 90° + $\frac{1}{2}\angle $YXZ
⇒ 60° = $\frac{3}{2}\angle $YXZ
⇒ $\angle $YXZ = 40°
Hence, the correct answer is 40°.
