- ✓$1$
- B$3$
- C$4$
- D$6$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$1$
a
(a)
(a)
We have,
Case $I$ $x > 0 \quad x^3-3|x|+2=0$
$\therefore \quad x^3-3 x+2=0$
$\Rightarrow \quad(x-1)(x-1)(x+2)=0$
$\Rightarrow x=1,-2$
$\text { Since, } x > 0$
$\therefore x \neq-2$
$x=1$
Case $II$ $x < 0$
$\therefore \quad x^3+3 x+2=0$
Graph of $x^3+3 x+2$
Clearly, from graph.
It has one solution lie between $(-1,0)$.
$\therefore$ Positive value of $x=1$
Hence, only one solutions.
