Correct Answer - Option 3 : (-3, 2)

Concept:

Solution Set: The set of all possible values of x.

When (a > 0 and b < 0) or (a < 0 and b > 0) then \(\rm \frac a b <0\)

When (a > 0 and b > 0) or (a < 0 and b < 0) then \(\rm \frac a b >0\)

 

Calculation:

Here, \(\rm \frac{x-2}{x+3}<0\)

Case 1: When x - 2 > 0 and x + 3 < 0

⇒ x > 2 and x < -3

This is not possible, as we can never find a real number which is greater than 2 and less than -3.

 

Case 2: When x - 2 < 0 and  x + 3 > 0

⇒ x < 2 and x > -3

⇒ -3  < x < 2

⇒x ∈ (-3, 2)

∴ Solution set = (-3, 2)

 

Hence, option (3) is correct.
