Solution
The correct option is Cx2−x+1
According to division algorithm, Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder p(x)=g(x)×q(x)+r(x) Putting the value in formula we get , x3−3x2+x+2=g(x)×(x−2)+4−2x Adding 2x and subtracting 4 both sides we get, x3−3x2+x+2+2x−4=g(x)×(x−2) ⇒(x3−3x2+3x−2)=g(x)×(x−2) Dividing (x−2) we get,
