. We're sorry about the hassle.
Sir, how did you get in the third step, the equation equal to '10+Z' ?

Equating the unit digits on both sides we have L H S = X + Y + Z and R H S = Z . We note that for the unit digit of the RHS to end with Z means that X + Y must ends with 0. Since X + Y ≤ 1 8 , X + Y must be 10.

X X + Y Y + Z Z 1 0 X + X + 1 0 Y + Y + 1 0 Z + Z = X Y Z = 1 0 0 X + 1 0 Y + Z
Consider the unit digit on both sides, X + Y + Z = 1 Z = 1 0 + Z , ⟹ X + Y = 1 0 .
Now,
1 0 X + X + 1 0 Y + Y + 1 0 Z + Z 1 0 ( X + Y ) + X + Y + 1 1 Z 1 0 + 1 1 Z 1 0 + 1 0 Z Z = 1 0 0 X + 1 0 Y + Z = 9 0 X + 1 0 ( X + Y ) + Z = 9 0 X + Z = 9 0 X = 9 X − 1
For Z ≤ 9 , X = 1 . And since X + Y = 1 0 , ⟹ Y = 9 ; and:
1 1 + 9 9 + 1 1 Z 1 1 0 + 1 1 Z 1 0 Z ⟹ Z = 1 9 0 + Z = 1 9 0 + Z = 8 0 = 8
⟹ X Y Z = 1 9 8
