In the real number system, the equation x+3−4x−1+x+8−6x−1=1\sqrt{x + 3 - 4\sqrt{x - 1}} + \sqrt{x + 8 - 6\sqrt{x - 1}} = 1 has

Options

  1. ANo solution
  2. BExactly two distinct solution
  3. CExactly four distinct solution
  4. DInfinitely many solution

Correct answer

D. Infinitely many solution

Step-by-step solution

We have,x+3−4x−1+x+8−6x−1=1\sqrt{x + 3 - 4\sqrt{x - 1}} + \sqrt{x + 8 - 6\sqrt{x - 1}} = 1

(x−1)2−2×2x−1+4+(x−1)2−2×3x−1+9=1\sqrt{( \sqrt{x - 1}{)}^{2} - 2 \times 2\sqrt{x - 1} + 4} + \sqrt{( \sqrt{x - 1}{)}^{2} - 2 \times 3\sqrt{x - 1} + 9} = 1

⇒(x−1−2)2+(x−1−3)2=1⇒ \sqrt{( \sqrt{x - 1} - 2{)}^{2}} + \sqrt{( \sqrt{x - 1} - 3{)}^{2}} = 1

⇒∣x−1−2∣+∣x−1−3∣=1⇒ | \sqrt{x - 1} - 2 | + | \sqrt{x - 1} - 3 | = 1

⇒∣x−1−2∣+∣x−1−3∣=∣(x−1−2)−(x−1−3)∣⇒ | \sqrt{x - 1} - 2 | + | \sqrt{x} - 1 - 3 | = \left|( \sqrt{x - 1} - 2 ) - ( \sqrt{x - 1} - 3 )\right|

We know that,

If ∣x−a∣+∣x−b∣=∣(x−a)−(x−b)∣| x - a | + | x - b | = \left|( x - a ) - ( x - b )\right|

then (x−a)(x−b)<0( x - a ) ( x - b ) < 0

∴(x−1−2)(x−1−3)<0∴ ( \sqrt{x - 1} - 2 ) ( \sqrt{x - 1} - 3 ) < 0

⇒2<x−1<3⇒5<x<10⇒ 2 < \sqrt{x} - 1 < 3 ⇒ 5 < x < 10

∴∴ Equation has& infinite many solutions.
