               .... (3)

Check all the given options whether they satisfy all the above inequalities or not.

In option 1, (7,17).

This statement is false. Therefore (7,17) is not a possible solution.

In option 2, (6,15).

This statement is true.

This statement is true.

This statement is also true. Therefore (6,15) is a possible solution.

In option 3, (5,8)

Check this point for inequality (3).

This statement is false. Therefore (5,8) is not a possible solution.

In option 4, (4,9).

This statement is true.

This statement is true.

This statement is also true. Therefore (4,9) is a possible solution.

From the below graph it is clear that the points (6,15) and (4,9) lie on the feasible region.

Therefore, the correct options are 2 and 4.
