Solution

The correct option is B 1
According to question,
5+|2x1|=2x(2x2)

Case I
2x1
5+2x1=2x(2x2)
Let 2x=t
5+t1=t(t2)
=t23t4=0
t=4 or 1 (invalid) (2x1)
2x=4
x=2
only one solution

Case II
2x<1
5+12x=2x(2x2)
Let 2x=t
5+1t=t(t2)
t2t6=0
(t3)(t2)=0
t=3,2
2x=3 (invalid as 2x<1), or 2x=2 (invalid)

Therefore, number of real roots is one.
