Answer explanation
Choice B is correct. It’s given that the minimum value of is less than times another number . Therefore, the possible values of are all greater than or equal to the value of less than times . The value of times is given by the expression . The value of less than is given by the expression . Therefore, the possible values of are all greater than or equal to . This can be shown by the inequality .
Choice A is incorrect. This inequality shows the possible values of if the maximum, not the minimum, value of is less than times .
Choice C is incorrect. This inequality shows the possible values of if the maximum, not the minimum, value of is times less than , not less than times .
Choice D is incorrect. This inequality shows the possible values of if the minimum value of is times less than , not less than times .
