(ii B) In applying the KVL, we should also take the polarity of each component's voltage into account, also their corresponding direction. Considering loop 2 as follows:

With the polarities (+/-) mentioned as above, we have:
ε, 20Ω and 50Ω resistors' voltage are in the same direction, in opposite to the 5 V cell.
So summing up, we have:
ε + 20I2 + 50I3 = 5 ... (*)
giving
ε - 5 = -20I2 - 20I3
So if you prefer to have 5 - ε, then it would become:
5 - ε = 20I2 + 50I3 which can also be derived from (*)
(iii) Taking the middle branch:

I3 indeed flows from Y to Z and then Z to X since it is engative, hence:
VYZ = 50 x 0.22 = 11 V with Y being higher voltage than Z
VZX = 5 V with Z being of higher voltage than X
Hence VYX = 16 V with Y being of higher voltage than X.
(iv) As derived in (iii).
(v) Since VZX = 5 V with Z being of higher voltage than X, then
VYZ = 5 V with Z being of higher voltage than Y so that X and Y will be of the same potential
Hence I3 should flow from Z to Y with value = 5/50 = 0.1 A.
(vi) Since I3 flows from Z to Y as described in (v), it is equivalent to flowing from X to Y.
