Question

Only one of the real roots of f(x)=x6x1 lies in the interval 1x2 and bisection method is used to find its value. For achieving an accurancy of 0.001, the required minimum number of iteration is
  1. 10

Solution

The correct option is A 10
In bisection method, the minimum number of iterations is given by |ba|2n<ε
Where
a: Lower limit of interval
b: Upper limit of interval
ε: Error in approximation
n: Number of iterations
Thus
|21|2n<0.001
2n>1000
n=10
