  1. A 1,2
  2. B 1,1
  3. C \(1,-\frac{1}{2}\)
  4. D 2, 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1,-\frac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( (x-2)(2x-1) - 1(1-(-1)) + 2(1-(-2x)) = 3 \) \( (x-2)(2x-1) - 2 + 2(1+2x) = 3 \) \( 2x^2 - x - 4x + 2 - 2 + 2 + 4x = 3 \) \( 2x^2 - x + 2 = 3 \) \( 2x^2 - x - 1 = 0 \) \( (2x+1)(x-1) = 0 \) \( x = 1, -\frac{1}{2} \)
