Q33 / 82 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Quadratic Equation

Set of all the values of x satisfying the inequality x2-7x+6>x+2 is

  • Correct answer
    A
    x∈-∞,211
  • B
    x∈211,∞
  • C
    x∈-∞,1∪6,∞
  • D
    x∈6,∞

Solution

x2-7x+6≥0⇒x∈-∞,1∪6,∞
Case I: x<-2
LHS is non negative, RHS is negative
⇒ the inequality is always true

⇒x<-2.
Case II: x≥-2
x2-7x+6>x2+4x+4
-11x>-2⇒x<211
⇒x∈-2,211
Taking the union of the two cases, we get, 
x∈-∞,211

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
