Which of the following are correct?

A. If ∣x−5∣<2|x-5|<2, then x∈(3,7)x \in (3,7)

B. If ∣x−1∣<4|x-1|<4, then x∈(−3,5)x \in (-3,5)

C. If ∣x−2∣<6|x-2|<6, then x∈(4,8)x \in (4,8)

D. If ∣x−4∣<1|x-4|<1, then x∈(−3,5)x \in (-3,5)

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The rule ∣x−a∣<r|x-a|<r means x∈(a−r,a+r)x \in (a-r,a+r). A gives (3,7)(3,7) and B gives (−3,5)(-3,5), both as stated. C should give (−4,8)(-4,8), not (4,8)(4,8), and D should give (3,5)(3,5), not (−3,5)(-3,5), so both fail.
