Answer 2

Given,

X, Y, Z are consecutive integers, not necessarily in order.

Two statements about the value of these integers.

To Find,

The largest integer.

Solution,

We can simply find out which is the largest integer by using both statements.

Statement 1 - This tells us that since Z is the average of X and Y. Z cannot be the largest integer and lies between X and Y.

Statement 2- This is stating that X>Y.

Hence, the order of the integers is- X>Z>Y.
