For example, I shall educate all members of my country about the dangers of smoking or speak out against certain practices such as open defecation.

Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Given A = \(\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{pmatrix}\) and B = \(\begin{pmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 4 & 2 \end{pmatrix}\).
We can multiply these matrices since the number of colums in A = number of rows in B
AB = \(\begin{pmatrix} (2*3)+(1*4) & (2*2)+(1*2) \\ (2*3)+(3*4) & (2*2)+(3*2) \\ (1*3)+(2*4) & (1*2)+(2*2) \end{pmatrix}\)
AB = \(\begin{pmatrix} (6+4) & (4+2) \\ (6+12) & (4+6) \\ (3+8) & (2+4) \end{pmatrix}\)
= \(\begin{pmatrix} 10 & 6 \\ 18 & 10 \\ 11 & 6 \end{pmatrix}\)

y < -10
B
y < -2
C
y < 2
D
y < 10

Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
multiply both sides by the LCM
12 x \(\frac{y+2}{4}\) - 12 x \(\frac{y-1}{3}\) >12 x 1
3[y+2] - 4[y-1] > 12
3y + 6 - 4y + 4 > 12
-y + 2 > 12
-y > 12 - 10 = 2
y < -2
