It should be A

\(y + x + 30 = 180\) (angles on a straight line)

\(y + 4y + 30 = 180\)

\(5y = 150\)

\(y = 30\)

We see that the sum of x, y, and 30 is 180, and since x = 4y, we have:

4y + y + 30 = 180

5y = 150

y = 30

It can be written: y + 4y + 30 = 180
that gives 5y = 150
So, y = 30

As intersecting lines opposite angles are always similar so,
Opposite to y is 30 (given)
