For the function f(x)=∣x−1∣+∣x−2∣+∣x−3∣f(x) = |x-1| + |x-2| + |x-3|

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-I
Function f(x)=f(x) =
LIST-II
For Interval
A.−3x+6-3x + 6I.x≥3x \geq 3
B.−x+4-x + 4II.x<1x < 1
C.xxIII.1≤x<21 \leq x < 2
D.3x−63x - 6IV.2≤x<32 \leq x < 3

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Split at the critical points 1, 2, 3. For x<1x<1 all three moduli flip: f=6−3xf=6-3x (A-II). For 1≤x<21\le x<2: (x−1)+(2−x)+(3−x)=4−x(x-1)+(2-x)+(3-x)=4-x (B-III). For 2≤x<32\le x<3: (x−1)+(x−2)+(3−x)=x(x-1)+(x-2)+(3-x)=x (C-IV). For x≥3x\ge3: 3x−63x-6 (D-I).
