Answer
Consider p || q and l is a transversal:
x° = 100° [Alternate angles]
Consider l || m:
z° = 100° [Corresponding angles]
Let the angle vertically opposite to y° be t°.
Now, t° and z° are co-interior:
∴ t° + z° = 180°
⇒ t° + 100° = 180°
⇒ t° = 180° - 100°
⇒ t° = 80°
y° = t° [Vertically opposite angles]
∴ y° = 80°
x° = 100°, y° = 80° and z° = 100°
