Ans: We are given $\text{24x}<\text{100}$.
$ 24\text{x}<100 $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{\text{24x}}{\text{24}}\text{}<\frac{\text{100}}{\text{24}} $
$ \Rightarrow \text{x}<\frac{25}{6} $
Therefore, we can say that only $1,2,3,4$ are only natural numbers less than $\frac{25}{6}$.
Therefore, the solution set is $\left\{ 1,2,3,4 \right\}$
Ans: We are given $\text{24x}<\text{100}$.
$ 24\text{x}<100 $
$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{24x}}{\text{24}}<\frac{\text{100}}{\text{24}} $
$ \Rightarrow \text{x}<\frac{\text{25}}{\text{6}}$
Therefore, we can say that only $..................-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4.$ the integers less than $\frac{25}{6}$.
So, the solution set is $\left\{ ...............-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4 \right\}$.
