Answer is D.

I) 1/x - 1/z = (z-x)/xz. Dunno if its equal to 0

II) 1/z + (z-1)/z. Working out this expression ,we get 1. True

III) z/2 + z/2. Working out this epression, we get z. True.

Answer is D.

Thank you but the answer seems to be E (I, II, III)

Hmm, can anyone explain why??

For I to be true, x and z have to be of equal value. That is not stated or implied in the question.

Does anyone else have an alternate explanation?

I agree with ratin.. 1 cannot be true unless x=z
