    X>Y>Z explanation- Carboxylic acid is stronger acid than − NH3+ ​therefore, X is the strongest acid. Since -COOH has −I effect which decreases with distance, therefore, −I effect is more pronounced on Y than on X. As a result, Y is more acidic than X . Thus, overall order of decreasing acidic strength is X>Y>Z.
