Answer:

The value that makes the given inequality true is:

a=4

Explanation:

We have to find the value of x such that:


(2)/(x)>(4)/(12)\\\\\\i.e.\\\\(2)/(x)>(1)/(3)

Now we proceed with the help of the options.

a)

when x=4


(2)/(4)=(1)/(2)>(1)/(3)

Hence, option a is true.

b)

when x=6.

then,


(2)/(6)=(1)/(3) which is not greater than
(1)/(3).

Hence, option b is incorrect.

c)

when x=12.

then,


(2)/(12)=(1)/(6) which is not greater than
(1)/(3).

Hence, option c is incorrect.

d)

when x=24 then,


(2)/(24)=(1)/(12) which is not greater than
(1)/(3).

Hence, option d is incorrect.
