    Solution:

    Consider the given figure,
    Mark the angles as 1, 2, 3 and 4.
    On the basis of given figure, we can conclude,
    3=4 .
    The angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc.
    So, x=23.
    x=3+3
    x=3+4 .....(i)
    y=3+1........(ii)
    (i)-(ii)gives,
    x-y=4-1.......(iii)
    From triangle ACE,
    4=z+1 4-1=z.........(iv)
    From (iii) and (iv) we get,
    x-y=z z+y=x x=y+z Hence, the correct relation is x=y+z.
    Therefore, option 1 is correct.
