Let's solve ~


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: 6(n - 5) < 3(n + 4)


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: 6n - 30 < 3n + 12


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: 6n - 3n < 12 + 30


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: 3n < 42


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: n < 42 / 3


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: n < 14

So, according to the given inequality. the only suitable value of n among the options is : " 11 "
