  1. ∠PYZ + ∠XYZ = 180° [∵ Linear Pair]
    ⇒ ∠PYZ + 64° = 180° [∵ ∠XYZ = 64°]
    ⇒ ∠PYZ = 180° – 64° = 116°
    But,
    ∠PYQ = ∠ZYQ = 1/2 ∠PYZ [∵ ∠ZYP is bisected by ray YQ]
    ∴ ∠PYQ = ∠ZYQ = 1/2 × 116° = 58°
    ∴ ∠XYQ = ∠XYZ + ∠ZYQ = 64° + 58° = 122 and
    Reflex ∠QYP = 360° – ∠QYP = 360° – 58° = 302°
