Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

x and y are two rational numbers.

Two inequalities which define these numbers are,

x + y < 5 ------(1)

3 < x < 5 -------(2)

In this question we will substitute the values of y given in the options in the inequality (1) to get the value of x. If the value of x satisfies the inequality (2), it will be the answer.

Option (A). y =
(8)/(3)

From inequality (1),


x+(8)/(3)<5


x<5-(8)/(3)

x <
(7)/(3)

x < 2.33

But 3 < x < 5, therefore, y =
(8)/(3) is not the answer.

Option (B). y = 2

x + 2 < 5

x < 3

But x is greater than 3. Therefore, Option (B) will not be the answer.

Option (C). y = 0

x + 0 < 5

x < 5

Inequality (2) states the same thing.

Therefore, Option (C) will be the answer.

Option (D). y = 3

x + 3 < 5

x < 5 - 3

x < 2

But x > 3, therefore, Option (D) will not be the answer.
