Correct Answer
✅ Option a — Infinitely many
All Options:
- AInfinitely many
- BOnly two
- CExactly one
- DNo solution
Detailed Solution & Explanation
This can be split into two separate inequalities: 1) 2)
Let us solve the first inequality: Multiply both sides by 8 to clear the denominators:
Now let us solve the second inequality: Multiply both sides by 8:
Finding the intersection of and : Since is a real number, there are infinitely many real values of in the interval that satisfy this compound inequality.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
