Correct option is: (3) 1   

\(x|x-3|+3|x-2|+1=0\)

Case-I

\(x \leq 2\)

\(x(3-x)+3(2-x)+1=0\)

\(3 x-x^{2}+6-3 x+1=0\)

\(x^{2}=7\)

\(x= \pm \sqrt{7} \quad \quad x=-\sqrt{7}\)

Case-II

\(2<x \leq 3\)

\(x(3-x)+3(x-2)+1=0\)

\(3 x-x^{2}+3 x-6+1=0\)

\(x^{2}-6 x+5=0\)

\((x-5)(x-1)=0\)

\(\Rightarrow x=5,1\) (no solution)

Case-III

\(x \geq 3\)

\(x(x-3)+3(x-2)+1=0\)

\(x^{2}-3 x+3 x-6+1=0\)

\(x^{2}=5\)

\(\Rightarrow x= \pm \sqrt{5}\) (no solution)

Only 1 solution i.e., \(-\sqrt{7}\)
