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