Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Carboxylic acids are stronger acids than `-overset(+)(N)H_(3)` , therefore X is the strongest acid, Since `-COOH` has `-I` effect which decreases with distance , therefore , effect is more pronunced on Z than on Y. As a result , Z is more acidic than Y. Therefore , overall order of decreasing acid strength is `X gt Z gt Y` , i.e., option (a) is correct.
