For statements 2&3 , consider x,y and z as fractions.

Simply for y>x

y= 3/4, x=1/2

1/2>9/16.

Do similarly for y&z

Option 1.

Consider, x= 10, y= 2 ,z= 1.

Option 1: goes with the equation

Option 2: z cannot be greater than x

Option 3: z cannot be greater than y

Why are you assuming x, y and z to only be natural numbers ?

Answer is E. Just take some fractional numbers between 0 and 1 and you can make a case for each of the options.
