Hi,
The best approach is to put different value of x and validate the inquality.
For ex, x=0, LHS=RHS (thus, inequality doesn't hold true.)
So, answer choice that has got 0 in the range will be eliminated.
a. 1<x<3
c. 0<x<4
d. x>3
Put x= 1, LHS=RHS
a. 1<x<3
d. x>3
Put x=4, LHS = RHS
a. 1<x<3
Thus, the only choice which remains is (A)
Check, put x=2, LHS < RHS
Therefore, Answer (A).
