Solution

Given the following:


\begin{cases}x>2 \\ y<5 \\ 2x+y>6\end{cases}

when x is greater than 2


x=3,4,5,\ldots\ldots

when y is less than 5


y=0,1,2,3,4,\ldots\ldots

Therefore the best option is when x = 3 and y = 2


\begin{gathered} x=3,y=2 \\ 2x+y>6 \\ 2(3)+2=8 \\ 8>6 \end{gathered}

it is correct because 8 is greater than 6

Therefore the best option is (3, 2)

Hence the correct answer is Option C
