Why just practice when you can master? Get a solution to a top-rated Critical Reasoning question from an IIM convert. We provide the easiest Hinglish explanation, breaking down complex problems into simple, actionable steps.
Region given in the line is -6 ≤ x ≤ 2
(A) |x| ≤ 4
This is of the form |x| ≤ A and can be opened as -A ≤ x ≤ A
=> -4 ≤ x ≤ 4
This is partially in the range and partially not, so FALSE
(B) |x| ≤ 6
=> -6 ≤ x ≤ 6
This is partially in the range and partially not, so FALSE
(C) |x − 2| ≤ 4
=> -4 ≤ x - 2 ≤ 4
Adding 2 on all the sides we get
=> -4 + 2 ≤ x - 2 + 2 ≤ 4 + 2
=> -2 ≤ x ≤ 6
This is partially in the range and partially not, so FALSE
(D) |x − 1| ≤ 5
=> -5 ≤ x - 1 ≤ 5
Adding 1 on all the sides we get
=> -5 + 1 ≤ x - 1 + 1 ≤ 5 + 1
=> -4 ≤ x ≤ 6
This is partially in the range and partially not, so FALSE
(E) |x + 2| ≤ 4
=> -4 ≤ x + 2 ≤ 4
Subtracting -2 from all the sides we get
=> -4 - 2 ≤ x + 2 - 2 ≤ 4 - 2
=> -6 ≤ x ≤ 2
=> TRUE
So, Answer will be E
Hope it helps!

(A) |x| ≤ 4
This is of the form |x| ≤ A and can be opened as -A ≤ x ≤ A
=> -4 ≤ x ≤ 4
This is partially in the range and partially not, so FALSE
(B) |x| ≤ 6
=> -6 ≤ x ≤ 6
This is partially in the range and partially not, so FALSE
(C) |x − 2| ≤ 4
=> -4 ≤ x - 2 ≤ 4
Adding 2 on all the sides we get
=> -4 + 2 ≤ x - 2 + 2 ≤ 4 + 2
=> -2 ≤ x ≤ 6
This is partially in the range and partially not, so FALSE
(D) |x − 1| ≤ 5
=> -5 ≤ x - 1 ≤ 5
Adding 1 on all the sides we get
=> -5 + 1 ≤ x - 1 + 1 ≤ 5 + 1
=> -4 ≤ x ≤ 6
This is partially in the range and partially not, so FALSE
(E) |x + 2| ≤ 4
=> -4 ≤ x + 2 ≤ 4
Subtracting -2 from all the sides we get
=> -4 - 2 ≤ x + 2 - 2 ≤ 4 - 2
=> -6 ≤ x ≤ 2
=> TRUE
So, Answer will be E
Hope it helps!
