Its B .

Thank you

{11}

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

See: \[\large{\sqrt{x-2} = (x-8)}\] \[\large{(x-2) = (x-8)^2}\] \[\large{x-2 = x^2 - 16x + 64}\] \[\large{x^2 - 17 x + 66 = 0}\] \[\large{x^2 - 6x - 11x + 66 = 0}\] \[\large{x(x-6) - 11(x-6) = 0}\] \[\large{(x-11)(x-6) = 0}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Thus, (x-11) = 0 or (x-6) = 0. So, x = 6 or 11.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Due to squaring 6 is picked up. But actually 6 does not satisfy the equation.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Yeah sorry .

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Only {11} satisfies.
