Solution

In trapezium ABCD, $A B | | C D$

$∴ ∠ A + ∠ D = 180^{\circ}$ (Sum of cointerior angles)

$x + 20^{\circ} + 2 x + 10^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$
$3 x + 30 x^{\circ} = 180^{\circ} \Rightarrow 3 x = 180^{\circ} - 30^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow 3 x = 150^{\circ}$
$∴ x = \frac{150^{\circ}}{3} = 50^{\circ}$

Similarly, $∠ B + ∠ C = 180^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow y + 92^{\circ} = 180^{\circ} \Rightarrow y = 180^{\circ} - 92^{\circ} ∴ y = 88^{\circ}$

Hence, $x = 50^{\circ}, y = 88^{\circ}$
