    Solution:

    Consider the given figure,
    In a cyclic quadrilateral sum of opposite angles are supplementary.
    So, from the figure,
    y+35o=180o y=180o-35o y=145o
    The angle subtended by a chord to the circumference of a circle is half of that subtended to the centre.
    Then,
    z=2×y z=2×145o z=290o
    Hence, the measure of y=145o and z=290o.
    Therefore, option 3 is correct.
