Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion Since f(x) has two changes in sign & f(−x) has too, two changes in sign. Hence the maximum number of real roots is 4 and hence the equation has at least (minimum) two complex roots.
