  • A (x + 2)2
  • B X(x + 2)
  • C Xv + 2
  • D X2 - x
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
(x = 2)(x2 - 3x + 2) + 2(x + 2)(x - 1) = (x + 2)m
(m + 2)[(x2 - 3x + 2) + 2(x - 1)] = (x + 2)M
divide both side by (x + 2)
(x2 - 3x + 2) + 2(x - 1) = M
x2 - 3x + 2 + 2x - 2 = M
x2 - 3x + 2 + 2x - 2 = M
x2 - 3x + 2x = M
x2 - x = M
M = x2 - x
