Correct.
stolyar how did u arrived at the answer. I used properties of angles in circle. (angle subteded by an arc at center is twice the angle that it substends at any other point on the circle).
Just seeing if there is a shorter way.

ABCD is a rhombus. AB=AC=AD — they are all radii. Therefore, ABC is an equilateral triangle. 2X=angle A=60, so X=30
