Given:
In the figure, $O$ is the centre of the circle.
$\angle BOD = 160^o$.
To do:
We have to find the values of $x$ and $y$.
Solution:
$ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Arc $BAD$ subtends $\angle BOD$ is the angle at the centre and $\angle BCD$ is on the other part of the circle.
Therefore,
$\angle BCD = \frac{1}{2}\angle BOD$
$x = \frac{1}{2} \times 160^o = 80^o$
$ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral.
This implies,
$\angle A + \angle C = 180^o$
$y + x = 180^o$
$y + 80^o = 180^o$
$y =180^o- 80^o = 100^o$
Hence, $x = 80^o$ and $y = 100^o$.
