X, Y, Z are three elements, which undergo chemical changes according to the following equation: I: X2O3+2Y→Y2O3+2X II: Y2O3+3Z→3ZO+2Y The order of increasing reactivity is:
A
X<Y<Z

Solution
The correct option is AX<Y<Z X<Y<Z is the correct increasing order of reactivity of X, Y, and Z. Y has displaced X in reaction I, so, Y is more reactive than X. Z has displaced Y is reaction II, so, Z is more reactive than Y. Thus the Z is most reactive and X is the least reactive.
