NOTE :- For an inequality :case 1 : $(x – a) (x – b) > 0$ => $x < a$ & $x > b$ [ if a < b]case 2 : $(x – a) (x – b) < 0$=> $a < x < b$ [ if a < b]

$x(x + 3) < 10$
=> $x^{2} + 3x – 10 < 0$=> $x^{2} + 5x – 2x – 10 < 0$=> $x(x + 5) -2(x + 5) < 0$=> $(x + 5) (x – 2) < 0$=> -5 < x < 2 [using case 2]=> Ans – (B)

Given inequality, $3(x^{2} – 4x + 4) < x$
=> $3x^{2} – 13x + 12 < 0$=> On solving the equations we get x = 3, 4/3
On the checking for the value of the equation in 3 regions, we see that it is negative only for $\frac{4}{3} < x < 3$
so option c is correct
