To solve the inequality 6x - 7 > 5, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality sign. Here are the steps:
1. Add 7 to both sides of the inequality:
6x - 7 + 7 > 5 + 7
6x > 12
2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 6:
6x/6 > 12/6
x > 2
Therefore, the solution to the inequality 6x - 7 > 5 is x > 2. This means that x is greater than 2. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is D: x > 2

Given : A + B = C + D

⇒ A - D = C - B ----- (i)

Also, it is given that A + D > B + C ----- (ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get :

D > B

Therefore, B > D is definitely wrong.

In 30 years from 1971 to 2001, number of odd days = 30 + 8 (from leap years) = 38 odd days

-5x + 2 < 7x - 4
2 + 4 < 7x + 5x
6 < 12x
x > 1/2

Statements: P ≥ R, R > T, T ≤ A

Conclusions:

I. P > A → False (As P ≥ R > T ≤ A → Thus, there is no clear relationship given between P and A)

II. T < P → True (As P ≥ R > T → T < P)

Hence, Only conclusion II follows.

P - 3 = M
I + 3 = L
N - 3 = K
K + 3 = N
(PINK = MLKN )

Similarly, ROSE = ORPH

'T - P ÷ Q' means P is son of T, Q is sister of P.

Hence, Q is daughter of T.

(5 x 6 x 8) + (7 x 4 x 9) = 492

and (7 x 5 x 4) + (6 x 8 x 9) = 572
