Expression 1Â :Â 3x + 5(4 - 3x) > 2 - 4x
=> $$3x+20-15x$$ > $$2-4x$$
=> $$12x-4x$$ < $$20-2$$
=> $$8x$$ < $$18$$
=> $$x$$ < $$\frac{9}{4}$$ -----------(i)
Expression 2Â :Â 2 - 4x < 3x - x/3
=> $$4x+3x-\frac{x}{3}$$ > $$2$$
=> $$\frac{20x}{3}$$Â > $$2$$
=> $$x$$ > $$\frac{3}{10}$$ ----------(ii)
Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $$\frac{3}{10}$$ < $$x$$ < $$\frac{9}{4}$$
The only value that $$x$$ can take among the options = 2
