Solve 24x < 100, when:

(i) x is a natural number.


(ii) x is an integer.


It is given in the question that,

24x < 100


Dividing the inequality by 24 on both sides we get,



(i) When x is a natural integer.


It can be clearly observed that the only natural number less than are 1, 2, 3, 4


Thus, 1, 2, 3, 4 will be the solution of the given inequality when x is a natural number.


Here, {1, 2, 3, 4} is the solution set.


(ii) When x is an integer


It can be clearly observed that the integer number less thanare…, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.


Thus, solution of 24x<100 are…,-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, when x is an integer.


{…, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4} is the solution set.
