The equation $x log x = 2 - x$ is satisfied by at least one value of $x$ lying between $1$ and $2$.
The function $f(x) = x log x$ is an increasing function in $[1,2]$ and $g (x)=2-x$ is a decreasing function in $[1, 2]$ and the graphs represented by these functions intersect at a point in $[1,2]$
- Statement-1 is true; Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
- Statement-1 is true; Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not correct explanation for Statement-1.
- Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
- Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
$g\left(x\right) = 2-x,\,g\left(1\right)=1,\,g\left(2\right) = 0$
$log 10 > log\,4 \Rightarrow 1 > log\,4$
Thus statement -1 and 2 both are true and statement-2 is a correct explanation of statement 1.

In a Young's double slit experiment, three polarizers are kept as shown in the figure. The transmission axes of \( P_1 \) and \( P_2 \) are orthogonal to each other. The polarizer \( P_3 \) covers both the slits with its transmission axis at \( 45^\circ \) to those of \( P_1 \) and \( P_2 \). An unpolarized light of wavelength \( \lambda \) and intensity \( I_0 \) is incident on \( P_1 \) and \( P_2 \).

Concepts Used:
Increasing and Decreasing Functions
Increasing Function:
On an interval I, a function f(x) is said to be increasing, if for any two numbers x and y in I such that x < y,
⇒ f(x) ≤ f(y)
Decreasing Function:
On an interval I, a function f(x) is said to be decreasing, if for any two numbers x and y in I such that x < y,
⇒ f(x) ≥ f(y)
Strictly Increasing Function:
On an interval I, a function f(x) is said to be strictly increasing, if for any two numbers x and y in I such that x < y,
⇒ f(x) < f(y)
Strictly Decreasing Function:
On an interval I, a function f(x) is said to be strictly decreasing, if for any two numbers x and y in I such that x < y,
⇒ f(x) > f(y)
