Given one is the wrong answer because the sum of Z is 200, so only Z is the right answer!

X ( 30 + 45 + 25 + 50 + 40 ) = 190.
Y ( 25 + 35 + 35 + 40 + 50 ) = 185.
Z ( 35 + 40 + 45 + 35 + 35 ) = 190.
It's very simple way.
Y ( 25 + 35 + 35 + 40 + 50 ) = 185.
Z ( 35 + 40 + 45 + 35 + 35 ) = 190.
It's very simple way.
