If 4(4x + 5) > 2x - 1 > 4x - 3, then the value of x is
Expression 1Â :Â 4(4x + 5) > 2x - 1
=> $$16x+20$$ > $$2x-1$$
=> $$16x-2x$$ > $$-1-20$$
=> $$14x$$ > $$-21$$
=> $$x$$ > $$\frac{-3}{2}$$ -----------(i)
Expression 2Â :Â 2x - 1 > 4x - 3
=> $$4x-2x$$ < $$3-1$$
=> $$2x$$ < $$2$$
=> $$x$$ < $$1$$ ----------(ii)
Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $$\frac{-3}{2}$$ < $$x$$ < $$1$$
The only value that $$x$$ can take among the options = 0
