If x satisfies |3 x-2|+|3 x-4|+|3 x-6| ≥ 12 , then

If x satisfies ∣3x−2∣+∣3x−4∣+∣3x−6∣≥12|3 x-2|+|3 x-4|+|3 x-6| \geq 12, then

Options

  1. A0≤x≥830 \leq \mathrm{x} \geq \frac{8}{3}
  2. Bx≥83x \geq \frac{8}{3} or −43\frac{-4}{3}
  3. Cx≤0x \leq 0 or x≥83x \geq \frac{8}{3}
  4. Dx≥2x \geq 2 only

Correct answer

C. x≤0x \leq 0 or x≥83x \geq \frac{8}{3}

Step-by-step solution

Dividing R\mathrm{R} at 23,43\frac{2}{3}, \frac{4}{3} and 2,2, analyse 4 cases. When x≤23,\mathrm{x} \leq \frac{2}{3}, the inequality becomes 2−3x+4−3x+6−3x≥122-3 x+4-3 x+6-3 x \geq 12 implying −9x≥0⇒x≤0-9 x \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \leq 0 when x≥2\mathrm{x} \geq 2 the ineqality becomes 3x−2+3x−4+3x−6≥123 x-2+3 x-4+3 x-6 \geq 12 Implying 9x≥24⇒x≥8/39 \mathrm{x} \geq 24 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x} \geq 8 / 3 The inequality in invalid in the other two sections. ∴\therefore either x≤0x \leq 0 or x≥8/3x \geq 8 / 3
