Solution

The correct option is A 1<m<5
Since x2+x+1>0 for all real x, the given inequality can be written as
3(x2+x+1)<x2+mx+1<3(x2+x+1)
4x2+(m+3)x+4>0 ...(1)
and 2x2(m3)x+2>0 ...(2)
The inequality (1) will hold for all x if its
Δ=(m+3)264<0
and the sign will be same as the coefficient of Ist term i.e., +ive.
or (m+11)(m5)<0 which imples that
11<m<5. ...(3)
Similarly, (2) will hold for all x if its Δ<0
1<m<7 ...(4)
Finally from (3) and (4), 1<m<5.
