  1. A 0
  2. B 1
  3. C 2
  4. D 3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ e^{x-1}+\log x+x-2=0 \] Let \(\quad f(x)=e^{x-1}+\log x+x-2\) \[ f^{\prime}(x)=e^{x-1}+\frac{1}{x}+1 \] \[ f^{\prime}(x)>0, \forall x \in R \] \(f(x)\) is monotonic increasing function. Hence, \(f(x)\) has only one real roots.
