hi,

i have a query here. if i consider condition 1 then i can say

y=z-x
substituting in question i get |x|=y-z=z-x-z

which is |x|= -x

which can never be the case as mod of any value is not negative.

so can't i infer that statement 1 is sufficient??

No, You can't say that, simply put x=-1 then the statement is right, now put x=1 it's not right, therefore statement 1 is not enough.

I felt this problem to be pretty simple.

question asks whether |x|=y-z? rephrasing it gives : -x=y-z ? or x=y-z ?

1. gives us x+y=z
=> x=z-y
=> -x=y-z

2. x<0 so it is negetive

both together gives us the information needed, i.e x is negetive , hence -x=y-z is true
