If $\left(a, a^2\right)$ falls inside the angle made by the lines $y=\frac{x}{2}, x>0$ and $y=3 x, x>0$, then a belongs to
-
$\left(0, \frac{1}{2}\right)$
-
$(3, \infty)$
-
$\left(\frac{1}{2}, 3\right)$
-
$\left(-3,-\frac{1}{2}\right)$
Solution
$a^2-3 a < 0$ and $a^2-\frac{a}{2}>0 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} < a < 3$
