Solution
The correct option is
B
two
|
|
x
−
4
|
−
1
|
=
2
For
x
≥
4
we get
|
x
−
4
−
1
|
=
2
|
x
−
5
|
=
2
now for
x
≥
4
and
x
<
5
we get
5
−
x
=
2
x
=
3
For
x
≥
5
we get
x
−
5
=
2
x
=
7
For
x
<
4
|
3
−
x
|
=
2
For
x
>
3
and
x
≤
4
we get
x
−
3
=
2
x
=
5
For
x
≤
3
and
x
>
0
we get
3
−
x
=
2
x
=
1
For
x
<
0
There will be no solution since
|
x
−
4
|
>
4
.
Hence in total four solutions.
However,
5
and
3
do not satisfy the equation and we are left with only
2
solutions,
7
and
1.
