1. Problem Description

We are given a diagram with two parallel lines PQPQ and SRSR. We are given an exterior angle of 246246^{\circ} and an interior angle of 6868^{\circ}. We are asked to find the value of the angle xx^{\circ}.

2. Solution Steps

First, find the interior angle adjacent to the exterior angle of 246246^{\circ}. The sum of these two angles is 360360^{\circ}. Let this interior angle be yy.
y+246=360y + 246^{\circ} = 360^{\circ}
y=360246y = 360^{\circ} - 246^{\circ}
y=114y = 114^{\circ}
Now, we have a transversal cutting through two parallel lines PQPQ and SRSR. The two interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary. That means they add up to 180180^{\circ}. Let the angle vertically opposite to the 6868^{\circ} angle be 6868^{\circ}.
Then we have the interior angle on the same side of the transversal as the 6868^{\circ} angle as 114114^{\circ}.
Consider the triangle. The angles of the triangle are xx, 6868, and 180114=66180 - 114 = 66.
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^{\circ}.
x+68+(180114)=180x + 68^{\circ} + (180^{\circ} - 114^{\circ}) = 180^{\circ}
x+68+66=180x + 68^{\circ} + 66^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}
x+134=180x + 134^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}
x=180134x = 180^{\circ} - 134^{\circ}
x=46x = 46^{\circ}

3. Final Answer

The value of xx is
4

6. Final Answer: B
