In the figure below,
the smaller circle touches the bigger circle at P . The centre of the bigger circle is O . Let X Y be the diameter of the bigger circle which is also tangent to smaller circle. Let P Y intersect the smaller circle at Z . If Y Z = 2 P Z , find the magnitue of angle P Y X in degrees.

How can you draw these figures?
But how do we say that O , O prime and P are co-linear?
Thanks NIRANJAN for the solution but I cannot understand your images. They seem like cartoon pictures.
I used trigonometry.
They are indeed cartoon.But why would he post cartoons in the solution section?
They are a sequel for Tom and Jerry. :)

Let the smaller circle has center O ′ and let that circle be tangent to X Y at a point M .
Const:- Join O O ′ , O ′ M and O ′ Z . .
Clearly, ∠ O ′ Z P = ∠ O ′ P Z = ∠ O P Y = ∠ O Y P .
=> ∠ O ′ Z P = ∠ O Y P
=> O ′ Z ∣ ∣ O Y
=> O ′ O O ′ P = Y Z P Z = 2 1
=> O ′ O O ′ M = 2 1
=> ∠ O ′ O M = 3 0 ∘
=> ∠ P Y X = ( ∠ O ′ O M / 2 ) = 1 5 ∘
