We know that the sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180o.

So in cyclic quadrilateral ABCD,

∠D + ∠B = 180o

⇒ (x + y) + (2x - y) = 180o

⇒ 3x = 180o

⇒ x = 60o

Similarly,

∠A + ∠C = 180o

⇒ x + 2y = 180o

⇒ 60o + 2y = 180o

⇒ 2y = 120o

⇒ y = 60o

Hence, x = 60o and y = 60o
