Solution

Considering the arc minor ZY, ZXY=12×ZPY
ZXY=110o2=55o

Given, XQ is perpendicular to ZY, and it passes through the center.
Q is the midpoint, and ZQ = QY.

Also, QX is the common side of the ZXQ and YXQ.
Hence, ZXQYXQ
(by SAS property)

Corresponding angles must be equal, i.e.,
ZXQ=YXQ=YXZ2
ZXQ=55o2=27.5o

As ZXQ is a right triangle, XZQ=90o27.5o=62.5o
