If 5 - 3x < 4 - x and 5(2 - x) > 2 - 2x, then x can take which of the following values?
Expression 1 : 5 - 3x < 4 - x
=> $$3x-x$$ > $$5-4$$
=> $$2x$$ > $$1$$
=> $$x$$ > $$\frac{1}{2}$$ ------------(i)
Expression 2 : 5(2 - x) > 2 - 2x
=> $$10-5x$$ > $$2-2x$$
=> $$5x-2x$$ < $$10-2$$
=> $$3x$$ < $$8$$
=> $$x$$ < $$\frac{8}{3}$$ --------------(ii)
Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $$\frac{1}{2}$$ < $$x$$ < $$\frac{8}{3}$$
The only value that $$x$$ can take among the given options = 1
