Solving,

x+yz=log 35+log 54 2 log 32=log 35+log 54log (32)2=log 35+log 54log 34=log 35×5434=log 3434=log 1=0.\Rightarrow x + y - z = \text{log } \dfrac{3}{5} + \text{log } \dfrac{5}{4} - \text{ 2 log } \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\[1em] = \text{log } \dfrac{3}{5} + \text{log } \dfrac{5}{4} - \text{log } \Big(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big)^2 \\[1em] = \text{log } \dfrac{3}{5} + \text{log } \dfrac{5}{4} - \text{log } \dfrac{3}{4} \\[1em] = \text{log } \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{5} \times \dfrac{5}{4}}{\dfrac{3}{4}} \\[1em] = \text{log } \dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{\dfrac{3}{4}} \\[1em] = \text{log } 1 \\[1em] = 0.

Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.
