Expression 1Â :Â x + 2(3-5x) > -1 - 2x
=> $$x+6-10x$$ > $$-1-2x$$
=> $$9x-2x$$ < $$6+1$$
=> $$7x$$ < $$7$$
=> $$x$$ < $$1$$ -----------(i)
Expression 2Â :Â -1 - 2x < 5 - x/3
=> $$2x-\frac{x}{3}$$ > $$-1-5$$
=> $$\frac{5x}{3}$$ > $$-6$$
=> $$x$$ > $$\frac{-18}{5}$$ ----------(ii)
Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $$\frac{-18}{5}$$ < $$x$$ < $$1$$
The only value that $$x$$ can take among the options = -3
=> Ans - (A)
