Linear Programming Question 93

Question: The inequality $ \frac{2}{x}<3 $ is true, when x belongs to

Options:

A) $ [ 2/3,\infty ) $

B) $ (-\infty ,2/3] $

C) $ (2/3,\infty )\cup (-\infty ,0) $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \frac{2}{x}<3\Rightarrow \frac{2}{x}-3<0 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{2-3x}{x}<0 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{3x-2}{x}>0 $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{3(x-2/3)}{x}>0 $ Sign scheme of $ \frac{3(x-2/3)}{x} $ is as follows:
$ \Rightarrow x\in (-\infty ,0)\cup (2/3,\infty ) $
