Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation \[ \begin{aligned} & x^2-5|x|+6=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad|x|^2-5|x|+6=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad(|x|-3)(|x|-2)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad|x|=2 \text { or } 3 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x= \pm 2, \pm 3 \\ & \end{aligned} \] \(\therefore\) There are 4 solutions.
