Our approach to the study of solvability is to use the technique of measure of noncompactness. Then, we find an interval of $ \eta $ such that for each $ \eta $ lying in this interval, the system of $ (n-1, n) $-type semipositone BVPs has a positive solution. Eventually, we demonstrate an example to show the effectiveness and usefulness of the obtained result.</p></abstract>
