Solution

The correct option is C $9 < x < 15$
$\Rightarrow$ The numbers are $1, 3, 5, 7, 9, x, 15, 17$
$\Rightarrow$ It is given that the numbers are arranged in ascending order.
$\Rightarrow$ Since, its arranged in ascending order, the value of $x$ will be greater than $9$ and less than $15$ .
$\Rightarrow$ The correct representation is $9 < x < 15$ .
