I want to solve this inequality for l. I have tried to use Reduce and Solve and its not worked out. How can I solve this?

Solve[((n*p - l - 1)*(n*q - l - 
  1)*(n*p - l)^3*(n*q - l)^3) < (l*(n*(1 - q) - n*p + 
  l)*(l + 1)^3*(n*(1 - q) - n*p + l + 1)^3), l]

Let me write this inequality normally as well $(np-l-1)(nq-l-1)(np-l)^3(nq-l)^3<l(n(1-q)-np+l)(l+1)^3(n(1-q)-np+l+1)^3$

    $\begingroup$ The command Collect[Expand[((n*p - l - 1)*(n*q - l - 1)*(n*p - l)^3*(n*q - l)^3) < (l*(n*(1 - q) - n*p + l)*(l + 1)^3*(n*(1 - q) - n*p + l + 1)^3)], l] shows you deal with a polynomial inequality of degree 7 depending on three parameters n,p,q (I think that p+q==1,p>=0,p<=1,n>0.). You can numerically solve the equation, evaluating the parameters, and then determine the intervals where the inequality holds. $\endgroup$

Since both side of the inequality can be set zero independently and both are strictly factored the zero are evident. The problem for visualization is there are no numerical values to solve.

Another perspective is that there is only one inequality for {l,n,p,q} for unknowns and that is a situation Solve and Root for example are not really good at. Solve needs are vast of time. Roots is faster, but the solution is already not nice to reads and does not make use of the beautiful factorization.

Roots[((n*p - l - 1)*(n*q - l - 
       1)*(n*p - l)^3*(n*q - l)^3) - (l*(n*(1 - q) - n*p + 
       l)*(l + 1)^3*(n*(1 - q) - n*p + l + 1)^3) == 0, l,

is a set of equations for l like in the question but not intuitive or illustrative.

Most users with little knowledge or experience are attracted by the built-ins with solve. That is not he real power Mathematica hid behind this group of metacognitive built-in names. Polynomials are in general nicer solved with the roots-group of built-ins.
