Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the type of quadrilateral.

    The points P,Q,R,SP, Q, R, S lie on the circle, making PQRSPQRS a cyclic quadrilateral. In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles sum to 180∘180^\circ.

  2. Find the angle ∠PSR\angle PSR.

    Angle ∠PQR\angle PQR and ∠PSR\angle PSR are opposite angles in the cyclic quadrilateral PQRSPQRS.

    ∠PSR+∠PQR=180∘\angle PSR + \angle PQR = 180^\circ ∠PSR+104∘=180∘\angle PSR + 104^\circ = 180^\circ ∠PSR=180∘−104∘\angle PSR = 180^\circ - 104^\circ ∠PSR=76∘\angle PSR = 76^\circ
  3. Relate the angle at the center to the angle at the circumference.

    The angle at the center, ∠POR\angle POR (marked as yy), and the angle at the circumference, ∠PSR\angle PSR, both subtend the same arc PRPR. The angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc.

    y=2×∠PSRy = 2 \times \angle PSR y=2×76∘y = 2 \times 76^\circ y=152∘y = 152^\circ

    The angle marked yy is \boxed{\text{152^\circ}}.
    This corresponds to option A.
