Answer -

In the figure, P and Q are the centres of two circles which intersect each other at C and B
ACD is a straight line ∠APB = 150°
Arc AB subtends ∠APB at the centre and
∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠ACB =  ∠APB =  x 150° = 75°
But ∠ACB + ∠BCD = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 75° + ∠BCD = 180°
∠BCD = 180°-75°= 105°
Now arc BD subtends reflex ∠BQD at the centre and ∠BCD at the remaining part of the circle
Reflex ∠BQD = 2∠BCD = 2 x 105° = 210°
But ∠BQD + reflex ∠BQD = 360°
∴ ∠BQD+ 210° = 360°
∴ ∠BQD = 360° – 210° = 150°
