2x/(4x+24) simplifying it x/(2x+12)

since x is greater than 2400 . 2x will be much bigger value compare to 12
We can neglect 12 . So new eq-> x/2x=1/2

option c

Mo2men · Answer

Plug in 2400 in the equation

\frac{2x}{4x + 24}  =  \frac{200}{401}

It is almost 1/2

x\geq {2400} ,   \frac{2x}{4x + 24}

Or,  \frac{x}{2x + 12}

So,  \frac{2400}{4800 + 12}

Or, ~  \frac{2400}{4800}=\frac{1}{2} , Answer must be (C)
