What is the value of x?


(1) \(6-2x=|x-6|\)

(2) \(x(x-1)=0\)

New question !!

Question: x = ?

STatement 1: \(6-2x=|x-6|\)

SInce |x-6| is always ≥ 0

therefore, 6-2x ≥0 i.e. x ≤ 3

For x≤3, |x-6| = 6-x

i.e. \(6-2x=|x-6|\) is same as \(6-2x=6-x\)
ie. x = 0

SUFFICIENT

STatement 2: \(x(x-1)=0\)

i.e. x is either 0 or 1 hence

NOT SUFFICIENT

ANswer: Option A

New question !!

Asked: What is the value of x?


(1) \(6-2x=|x-6|\)
Case 1: x>=6
6-2x = x-6
3x = 12
x = 4; NOT VALIED since x>=6
Case 2: x<6
6-2x = 6-x
x = 0; VALID since x<6
x = 0
SUFFICIENT

(2) \(x(x-1)=0\)
x = 0 or 1
NOT SUFFICIENT
IMO A

(2) \(x(x-1)=0\)

New question !!

#1
\(6-2x=|x-6|\)
solve we get
x= 4 and x=0
since lx-6l will always be +ve so x=4 is not valid
x=0 sufficient
#2
\(x(x-1)=0\)
x=1 & 0
insufficient
OPTION A
