Hi Sudad,

If 3p < 7, then dividing both sides of this inequality by 3 yields p < 7/3 = 2 1/3. Now, if p = 2.25, then the inequality 2 < p < 2 1/3 is true. So, choice (B) need not be false.

If p < 3, then chose p = 2.5, which is greater than 2. Then 2 < p < 3. So, choice (C) need not be false.

Thus, neither (B) nor (C) must be false.

The question asks "which one" must be false, not "which ones." I realize the option for multiple answers exists, but we're supposed to pay attention to the details of the question, so this phrasing is misleading.
