I could solve it by 'B' alone..

given $$xy/100 > 100$$ to be proved is xz < 1000 ?

let us take the stmt 2

z < 10y/100
10z < y
i.e y > 10z

let us say y=10z
put this in the given stmt

10*x*z > 10000
xz > 1000

since y > 10z , it still holds good.

1. z% of y is 10
2. z is less than 10% of y

1. z% of y is 10 - insuff, doesn't tell us anything about x
2. z is less than 10% of y - insuff, doesn't tell us anything about x
Combining 1 and 2: let's find a "break point", when "z% of y is 10" and "z is 10% of y": z=10 and y=100. It means, that if we combine 1 and 2, we have: z<10, y>100 (you can plug in numbers to check).
But still, we don't know anything about x, even from "y% of x greater than 100": x can be any number (as y can be endlessly big).
For example: x=100, y=200, z=5 and x=300, y=200, z=5 satisfy both statements, but give different answers.
Hence, E.
