X, Y, Z are three elements which undergo chemical changes according to the following equations: 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 A X < Y < Z Y has displaced X in reaction I. So, Y is more reactive than X. Z has displaced Y in reaction II. So, Z is more reactive than Y.
Thus, Z is the most reactive and X is the least reactive.
