D.
x < 35

Answer 1

Answer: 25 days

Step-by-step explanation:

300 - 165 = 135

135 ÷ 5 = 25

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer to the question is option (c)

x<33

Step-by-step explanation:

here we need to calculate the animals that can be there here till 300

so,

300-165=135

now,

135/5

=27 that is less than 33 so the option (c) is correct.
