Within a/the range of

subhajit123Member

Which one is correct?

1- I want to buy a car within a/the range between 15000 and 20000 Dollars.

2- This bomb could destroy everything within a/the range of 50 meters where it drops.

If my examples are not enough, could you please tell me when should I use 'within a/the range of'?

Hi, Subhajit,

You have to use "within a range of ... / within a range between ... and ... / within a range from ... to ..." You can use "within the range ..." after you have specified what the range consists of.

The second sentence should be:

- This bomb could destroy everything within a range of 50 meters from where it is dropped.
