question mark

The circle ω touches the circle Ω internally at P. The centre O of Ω is outside ω. Let XY be a diameter of Ω which is also tangent to ω. Assume PY > PX. Let PY intersect ω at Z. If YZ = 2PZ, what is the magnitude of angle PYX in degrees?

 we have drawn the common tangent TPR ro the two given circles.
Let PZ=x so that YZ=2x.
XY is tangent to the smaller circle at Q.
But
Now, YQ² =YZ×YP=2x×3x=6x² or
YQ=√6× X.
Now, we apply sine rule in triangle YPQ whereby, sin(YQP)/sin(45°) =3X/(√6×X) =√3/2.
Clearly,

once again by the aforesaid theorem. Moreover,
Now, YQ² =YZ×YP=2x×3x=6x² or
 YQ=√6x.
Now, we apply sine rule in triangle YPQ whereby, sin(YQP)/sin(45°) =3x/(√6x) =√3/2.
Clearly,
hence
Thus,
