Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

In triangle RXY, < RXY = < RYX (base angles of an isosceles triangle)

\(\implies\) 180° - 62° = 2 < RYX

118° = 2 < RYX \(\implies\) < RYX = 59°

In triangle RYZ, < RZY = 62° (base angles of an isosceles triangle)

\(\therefore\) < RYZ = 180° - (62° + 62°)

= 180° - 124° = 56°

\(\therefore\) < XYZ = 56° + 59°

= 115°
