Only one of the real roots of f(x)=x6−x−1 lies in the interval 1≤x≤2 and bisection method is used to find its value. For achieving an accurancy of 0.001, the required minimum number of iteration is
10

Solution
The correct option is A 10 In bisection method, the minimum number of iterations is given by |b−a|2n<ε
Where
a: Lower limit of interval
b: Upper limit of interval ε: Error in approximation
n: Number of iterations
Thus |2−1|2n<0.001 ⇒2n>1000 ⇒n=10
