  1. A
    2
  2. B
    3
  3. C
    4
  4. D
    5

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The given compound inequality consists of two parts:
Part 1: 2x−2(4−x)<2x−3
Part 2: 2x−3<3x+3

Let's solve Part 1:

2x−8+2x<2x−3
4x−8<2x−3
4x−2x<8−3
2x<5⟹x<2.5
Let's solve Part 2:

2x−3<3x+3
−3−3<3x−2x
−6−6
Combining both parts, the range of x is:

−6Among the given choices (2,3,4,5), only 2 lies within this range (−6 to 2.5).
