you are getting the out put like this:

1
Code:
5    150    x    10    100    y    20    200
             z    34    44

because two tabs are added from the Begin of second and 3rd line for input2 and input3 delimiter (\t).
If you want your desire output so you have to go for this code:
Code:
paste -d "\t" input1 input2 input3|awk -F "\t" '$1=="" {print "\t\t\t"$0;next}{print $0}'

hope this will work for you
regards,
Sanjay
