1) If we have an inequality |y| > 3, this will be satisfied if => y > 3 or y <
-3.
Inequality I: |x - 3| - 4 > 3
x - 3 > 7 or x - 3 < -7
Of, x lies outside of -4 and 10. Or, x can lie in the range (-∞, -4) or (
10, ∞)
|x - 3| - 4 < - 3
=> |x - 3| < 1
2)
For any two points M, N on the number line representing numbers m, n the
distance MN = | m - n|.
So, for three points, P, Q and R on the number line |p – q|, |q – r|, |r – p|
a|. If b lies between a and c, the above value would be zero. So, b should not
be between a and c.
The best case scenario would be if a, c were very close to each other and far
|a – b| + |b – c| – |c – a| = 23 + 22 – 1 = 44.
– c| – |c – a|?"
3)
So, in this case we are told |a -b| + |b -c| = |c – a|. Think about this. What
does this mean? There are three points on the number line. We are talking
about 3 distances on the number line here. We know that sum of some two
of the distances is equal to the third. What does this tell us?
This tells us that the point b has to be in between a and c. With this we are
4)
Is that the case? Is 2IIM running questions that are this simple?
When would this be 3? If x, y and z all have the same sign. Each fraction would
be 1 and we would get 3 overall. Spot on! So, the maximum value is 3.
When can this go to zero.
When x=-y this fraction goes to 0. When x and y have opposite signs, the first
term would go to zero. Likewise for the second and third terms as well.

|a| and |b| are two non-negative numbers, hence we can be sure that |a| + |b| ≥ |a| - |b|, i.e., x ≥
y.
z = |a - b|, hence z will always lie between x and y.
⇒x≥z≥y

∴ f(x) ∈ [8, ∞)

14)
f(x) = |x - 1| + |x + 1| + |x + 3| + |x + 5|
15)
abc – (a + b + c) = a(bc – 1) – b – c .
It is clear that the expression would be maximum when b and c are negative and their
modulus are maximum possible.
∴ b = –10 , c = –9.
