Given the inequality:


\sqrt[]{x}<5

We need to solve the inequality to get a range of values for x.

This we can do by finding the square of both sides:


\begin{gathered} (\sqrt[]{x})^2<5^2 \\ x<25 \end{gathered}

On checking the options given, we will pick the numbers that are strictly less than 25.

Therefore, the correct options are:

OPTION A

OPTION B

OPTION C

OPTION F
