Answer: The correct option is (b) n > 4.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that six times a number is greater than 20 more than that number.

We are to find the possible values of the number.

Let the given number be n.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$6* n>n+20\\\\\Rightarrow 6n>n+20\\\\\Rightarrow 6n-n>20\\\\\Rightarrow 5n>20\\\\\Rightarrow n>(20)/(5)\\\\\Rightarrow n>4.$

Thus, the required possible values of the number are given by

n > 4.

Option (b) is CORRECT.
