For |x – 1| + |x – 2| + |x – 3| ≤ 6, x belongs to

Q: For |x – 1| + |x – 2| + |x – 3| ≤ 6, x belongs to

(A) 0 ≤ x ≤ 4

(B) x ≤ 0 or x ≤ 4

(C) x ≤ – 2 or x  ≥ 4

(D) none of these

Sol. We have |x – 1+x – 2 + x – 3| ≤ |x – 1| + |x – 2| + |x – 3| ≤ 6

⇒ |3x – 6| ≤ 6

⇒ – 6 ≤ 3x – 6 ≤ 6

⇒ 0 ≤ x ≤ 4

Hence (A) is the correct answer.
