If 2x+ 4(x - 3) < -2 - x < 2x - 1, then find the value of x.
ExpressionΒ 1Β :Β $$-2 - x < 2x - 1$$
=> $$2x + x$$Β > $$1 - 2$$
=> $$x$$Β > $$\frac{-1}{3}$$ ----------(i)
Expression 2Β :Β $$2x + 4(x - 3) < -2 - x$$
=> $$6x - 12$$ < $$-2 - x$$
=> $$6x + x$$ < $$12 - 2$$
=> $$x$$ < $$\frac{10}{7}$$ ------(ii)
Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we getΒ : $$\frac{-1}{3}$$ < $$x$$ < $$\frac{10}{7}$$
Thus, only value that $$x$$ can take among the options = 1
=> Ans - (B)
