The correct option is
D 1Let f(x)=ex−1+x−2
Check for x=1
Then, f(1)=e0+1−2=0
So, x=1 is a real root of the equation f(x)=0
Let x=α be the other root such that α>1 or α<1
consider the interval [1,α] or [α,1]
Clearly f(1)=f(α)=0
By Rolle's theorem f′(x)=0 has a root in (1,α) or in (α,1)
But f′(x)=ex−1+1>0 for all x. Thus, f′(x)≠0, for
any x∈(1,α) or x∈(α,1), which is a contradiction.
Hence, f(x)=0 has no real root other than 1.
