$\angle ACB =\frac{1}{2} \angle A P B=\frac{1}{2} \times 150=75^{\circ}$
(Angle at the centre is double the angle at the circumference subtended by the same chord)
∠ACB + ∠BCD =180°
(Straight line)
⇒ ∠BCD =180° - 75° =105°
Also,$\angle B C D=\frac{1}{2}=$ reflex $\angle BQD =\frac{1}{2}\left(360^{\circ}- x \right)$
(Angle at the center is double the angle at the circumference subtended by the same chord) x
⇒ 105 = 180°
∴ x = 2 (180 ° -° ) = 2×75 = 150°
