Answer:1. The reactivity of the metals are in the following order :
Y > X > Z
This is because Y reacts with both water and HCl so this accounts for its high reactivity and Z does not react in any condition so it is least reactive.
2. Y can be Alkali or Alkaline earth metal such as Na,K or Mg.
X can be transition elements of starting series such as Fe.
Z are p-block metals or transition elements of end such as Pb and Cu.
