    Let angle PQR be x, QPR be y and PRS be z.
    Therefore angle QRP = 180 - z
    in traingle PQR, sum of the angles is 180 = x + y + 180 - z
    z -x = y
    Question asks to find z -x

    by condition 1
    y = 30. Hence z - x = y = 30

    by condition 2
    x + 180 - z = 150
    z - x = 30
    Hence D

    Thanks for the explanation! I was trying to figure out the degree's of all angles instead of thinking like you and just seeing that all i needed was to figure out what z - x was!
