उत्तर
Let P be any point on the arc XZ. 
XZ is the diameter of the circle.
∴ ∠XPZ = 90º (Angle in a semi-circle is 90º)
So, ∠XYZ cannot be a right angle.
In ∆YPZ,
∠XYZ > ∠YPZ (An exterior angle of a triangle is greater than its remote interior angle)
⇒ ∠XYZ > 90º (∠YPZ = ∠XPZ)
So, ∠XYZ is an obtuse angle. Therefore, it is not possible that ∠XYZ is an acute angle.
Thus, three of the following statements are true.
Hence, the correct answer is Only three .
