Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\{6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the first condition, double the number of notebooks plus \(5\) strictly exceeds \(15\): \(2n + 5 > 15\) \(2n > 10\) \(n > 5\) From the second condition, the number of notebooks plus \(10\) is no more than \(22\): \(n + 10 \le 22\) \(n \le 12\) Combining the two…
