Linear Programming Question 102

Question: The set of values of x which satisfy the inequations $ 5x+2<3x+8 $ and $ \frac{x+2}{x-1}<4 $ is

Options:

A) $ (-\infty ,1) $

B) (2, 3)

C) $ (-\infty ,3) $

D) $ (-\infty ,1)\cup (2,3) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ 5x+2<3x+8 $

$ \Rightarrow x<3 $ (1) And $ | \frac{x^{2}+1}{x} |>2 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{x-2}{x-1}>0 $

$ \Rightarrow x<1 $ or $ x>2 $ (2) From (1) and (2), we get $ x\in (-\infty ,1)\cup (2,3) $ .
