Solution

The correct option is A $y > 12$
$\frac{y}{3} > 4$

We know that multiplication is the reverse of division.
Here we multiply the both side of the equation by $3$ .
$\frac{y}{3} > 4$
$\Rightarrow 3 \times \frac{y}{3} > 3 \times 4$
As $3$ is a positive number the sign of inequality does not change.
$3 \times \frac{y}{3} > 3 \times 4$
$\Rightarrow y > 12$
