We have, OBC an equilateral triangle (OB=OC=radius, Angle BOC=60, hence Angle OBC=Angle OCB=60 degree)
Note:- The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
So, Angle BAC=$$\frac{60}{2}=30$$

In the triangle ABC, Angle A+Angle B +Angle C=180
Or, 30+x+60+z+60=180
Or, x+y=180-150=30

So, Angle x+y+z=(x+z)+y=30+60=90 degree

Ans. (B)
