Solution
The correct option is
A
(
x
+
2
)
(
2
x
−
1
)
(
3
x
+
1
)
First expression:
6
x
2
−
x
−
1
=
6
x
2
−
3
x
+
2
x
−
1
=
3
x
(
2
x
−
1
)
+
1
(
2
x
−
1
)
=
(
3
x
+
1
)
(
2
x
−
1
)
Second expression:
3
x
2
+
7
x
+
2
=
3
x
2
+
6
x
+
x
+
2
=
3
x
(
x
+
2
)
+
1
(
x
+
2
)
=
(
3
x
+
1
)
(
x
+
2
)
Third expression:
2
x
2
+
3
x
−
2
=
2
x
2
+
4
x
−
x
−
2
=
2
x
(
x
+
2
)
−
1
(
x
+
2
)
=
(
2
x
−
1
)
(
x
+
2
)
Hence the required L.C.M. is
(
x
+
2
)
(
2
x
−
1
)
(
3
x
+
1
)
