Uhhh... What mass range. Because a star with 0.000003% mere mass than the sun will still end the same way as the sun. A red dwarf. You might want to change that.

If a star has mass M < 8 M S u n M<8M_{Sun} , it ultimately becomes a white dwarf. But if M > 8 M S u n M>8M_{Sun} , then it becomes a supergiant, which goes supernova. Then at that point, if the core of the supergiant is M < 3 M S u n M<3M_{Sun} , the core implodes into a neutron star. Otherwise, if the core of the supergiant is M > 3 M S u n M>3M_{Sun} , the core implodes into a black hole.

Okay. I apologize if i got it incorrectly. I will try to fix the problem. But thanks for reporting the error.

You did not necessarily get the problem wrong. But, try specifying the mass range in which a star will become a black hole.

Look at the picture given. If stars with the mass of our Sun will end its life in a planetary nebula then a white dwarf, then what is the death of a star with more mass than our Sun?
