Detailed Solution

Metals that can displace other metals from their solution are comparatively more reactive than the metal present in the solution.

For the first reaction, Fe is more reactive than Cu, so displacement occurs and the product is  FeSO4
CuSO4+Fe  FeSO4+Cu
 

For the second reaction, Zn is more reactive than Fe, so the end of the displacement reaction product is  FeSO4. Zinc displaces iron from FeSO4 and iron displaces copper from CuSO4.
 
FeSO4+Zn  ZnSO4​​+Fe
