Question:

If the equation $e^{\left||x| – 2\right| + b} = 2$ has four solution then b lies in

Options:

(ln 2 – 2, ln 2)

(–2, ln 2)

(0, ln 2)

None of these

Correct Answer:

(ln 2 – 2, ln 2)

Explanation:

$e^{\left||x| – 2\right| + b} = 2$

so $\left||x| – 2\right| + b=\log 2$

$\left||x| – 2\right|=\log 2-b$

so for 4 solutions

$0<\log 2-b<2$

so $-2<b-\log 2<0$

$\log|2|-2<b<\log|2|$
