excuse me, what does it mean “ all “ here ? is it 3-area overlapping or all about something you want to mention ?
Yes - all means the possible 3 overlap. Both means those that overlap twice

You know that all=(22-both)/2
All cannot be a negative number or a non-integer. So both must be less than or equal to 22. Since 22 is even, both must be even as well - so the largest value is 22.

You can you that method to identify the ‘sign’ of each expression in lhs in the intervals
1)<3
2)(3,4)
3)>4
Then solve to get x in each interval.

My approach - as it’s the sum of mods, I’ll just check the extremes of each choice. Both should be 2 as the question says ‘set of all’. So D will be the answer.

Yes ans is D.

In Wavy Curve we have to make eq less than or equal to 0 right? What we will do of 2 in Question? If possible can you explain by drawing wavy curve please

Because profit or loss is on the CP or cost price and here it is 15

Thanks for the clarification

*drowns in profit formulae*

Sorry to rebut. But the best formula to use is profit/revenue for profit measurement not profit/COGS (cost of goods sold). Is there a reason why the later why used?

Nvm. Got it
