(i)
(ii) 
(iii) (5, ∞ ) (iv) (2, ∞ )
Sol. (i) Case -I : x ≥ 1
⇒ log 3 x – log 3 x – 3 < 0
⇒ x ∈ R
⇒ x ∈ [1, ∞ )
Case -II : x ∈ (0,1)
⇒ –2 log 3 x – 3 < 0
⇒ log 3 x > – 
⇒ x > 
⇒ x ∈ 
From both the cases
⇒ x ∈ 
(ii) x – 1 ≥ log 3 (9 – 3 x ) – 3 and 9 – 3 x > 0
log 3 (9 – 3 x ) ≤ x + 2 and 3 x < 9
9 – 3 x ≤ 3 x × 9 and x < 2
3 x ≥
and x < 2
x ∈ 
(iii)
(x–2) > 0
Case -I 0 <
<1 & 0 < x – 2 < 1
⇒ x – 5 < x – 1 < 0 & x ∈ (2, 3)
⇒ x ∈ φ
Case -II
> 1 & x – 2 > 1
⇒ x > 5 & x > 3
⇒ x ∈ (5, ∞ )
from both cases x ∈ (5, ∞ )
(iv) log x (x 3 – x 2 – 2x) < 3
Case-I x ∈ (0,1) & x 3 – x 2 – 2x > 0
then x 3 – x 2 – 2x > x 3
⇒ x ∈ (0,1) & x ∈ (–2,0)
⇒ x ∈φ
Case-I x ∈ (1, ∞ ) & x 3 – x 2 – 2x > 0
then x 3 – x 2 – 2x < x 3
⇒ x ∈ (1, ∞ ) & x ∈ (–1,0) ∪ (2, ∞ ) & x ∈ (– ∞ ,–2) ∪ (0, ∞ )
⇒ x ∈ (2, ∞ )
from both cases x ∈ (2, ∞ )
