Solution

The correct option is A $x > - 1$
Given, $5 - x < 6$
subtracting $5$ from both the sides,
$\Rightarrow 5 - x - 5 < 6 - 5$
$\Rightarrow - x < 1$

Multiplying both the sides by ' $- 1$ ' (Sign of inequality would get reversed as a negative number is multiplied),
$\Rightarrow - x \times - 1 > 1 \times - 1$
$\Rightarrow x > - 1$
