Explanation
Given x=119. Note that 0<x<1.
Evaluation of I: x1
Since 11>9, then 911>1. Because x<1, it follows that 911>x. Result: I is greater than x.
Evaluation of II: xx+1 We can simplify the expression:
From our previous step, we know x1=911.
Since x≈0.81, then 2.22>0.81. Result: II is greater than x.
Evaluation of III: x−1x+1 Substitute x=119:
Numerator: x+1=119+1=1120
Denominator: x−1=119−1=−112
The expression becomes:
Since −10 is a negative number and x is positive, −10<x. Result: III is NOT greater than x.
Final Answer: Statements I and II are greater than x.
The correct option is (b).
