Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(x) = x^4-10 x^3+37 x^2-60 x+36\) \(P(x) = (x^2-5x+6)^2 = (x-2)^2(x-3)^2\) Roots of \(P(x)=0\) are \(\{2, 2, 3, 3\}\). Distinct roots are \(2\) and \(3\). Increase one \(2\) by \(1\) to get \(3\), and one \(3\) by \(1\) to get \(4\). The other two roots (one \(2\) and one…
