A. 0
B. `(1)/(2)`
C. 1
D. 2

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we need to first express x, y, and z in numerical form based on the given descriptions.

### Step 1: Define x, y, and z
- **x** is defined as 111... (20 times). This can be expressed as:
\[ x = 11111111111111111111 \quad (\text{20 ones}) \]
- **y** is defined as 333... (10 times). This can be expressed as:
\[ y = 3333333333 \quad (\text{10 threes}) \]
- **z** is defined as 222... (10 times). This can be expressed as:
\[ z = 2222222222 \quad (\text{10 twos}) \]

### Step 2: Simplify x, y, and z
To make calculations easier, we can express these numbers in a more manageable form:
- **x** can be rewritten as:
\[ x = 111 \times 10^{19} + 111 \times 10^{18} + \ldots + 111 \times 10^0 = 111 \times \frac{10^{20} - 1}{9} \]
- **y** can be rewritten as:
\[ y = 333 \times 10^9 + 333 \times 10^8 + \ldots + 333 \times 10^0 = 333 \times \frac{10^{10} - 1}{9} \]
- **z** can be rewritten as:
\[ z = 222 \times 10^9 + 222 \times 10^8 + \ldots + 222 \times 10^0 = 222 \times \frac{10^{10} - 1}{9} \]

### Step 3: Calculate y²
Next, we need to calculate \(y^2\):
\[ y^2 = \left(333 \times \frac{10^{10} - 1}{9}\right)^2 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ y^2 = 333^2 \times \left(\frac{10^{10} - 1}{9}\right)^2 \]

### Step 4: Substitute into the expression
Now we substitute \(x\), \(y^2\), and \(z\) into the expression \(\frac{x - y^2}{z}\):
\[ \frac{x - y^2}{z} = \frac{x - 333^2 \times \left(\frac{10^{10} - 1}{9}\right)^2}{222 \times \frac{10^{10} - 1}{9}} \]

### Step 5: Simplify the expression
We can factor out \(\frac{10^{10} - 1}{9}\) from both \(x\) and \(z\):
\[ = \frac{\left(111 \times \frac{10^{20} - 1}{9} - 333^2 \times \left(\frac{10^{10} - 1}{9}\right)^2\right)}{222 \times \frac{10^{10} - 1}{9}} \]

### Step 6: Final Calculation
After simplifying, we can compute the final value. For the sake of simplicity, we can use the smaller values as indicated in the video transcript:
- Let \(x = 11\), \(y = 3\), and \(z = 2\) (as derived from the smaller values).
\[ \frac{x - y^2}{z} = \frac{11 - 3^2}{2} = \frac{11 - 9}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \]

### Final Answer
The value of \(\frac{x - y^2}{z}\) is:
\[ \boxed{1} \]
