The correct option is B 4
(x2+7x+11)(x2−4x−21)=1
Let a=x2+7x+11 and b=x2−4x−21
Case 1: ab=1 when a=1
x2+7x+11=1⇒x2+7x+10=0⇒(x+2)(x+5)=0⇒x=−5,−2
Case 2: ab=1 when b=0 and a≠0
x2−4x−21=0⇒(x+3)(x−7)=0⇒x=−3,7
Case 3: ab=1 when a=−1 and b is an even number.
x2+7x+11=−1⇒x2+7x+12=0⇒(x+3)(x+4)=0⇒x=−3,−4
x=−3⇒b=0 which is even.
x=−4⇒b=11 which is odd.
So, x=−4 doesn't satisfy the assumed conditions.
So, the solutions are −5,−2,−3,7
