In $$\triangle$$ RPN, using exterior angle property,
=> $$\angle$$ PRS = $$\angle$$ RPN + $$\angle$$ PNR
=> $$x+y=102^\circ$$ ----------(i)
Also, in $$\triangle$$ MRN,
=> $$\angle$$ MRN + $$\angle$$ MNR + $$\angle$$ RMN = $$180^\circ$$
=> $$\angle$$ RMN = $$(180-2y)^\circ$$
At point M, $$\angle$$ RMP + $$\angle$$ RMN = $$180^\circ$$
=> $$x+(180-2y)=180$$
=> $$x=2y$$ -----------(ii)
Substituting above value in equation (i),
=> $$2y+y=102^\circ$$
=> $$y=\frac{102}{3}=34^\circ$$
Substituting it in equation (ii), => $$x=2\times34=68^\circ$$
=> Ans - (B)
