Correct answer: D
- Find the zeros of
For ,
Since for , we have
Now, when for some . So,
Hence,
where (since , we need ).
Also, is itself a zero because .
Thus, for positive , the solutions are exactly
- Check option A
Statement: has infinitely many solutions in .
For positive zeros,
So only finitely many positive integers satisfy this. Hence only finitely many positive zeros lie in this interval.
Also, for , there are no zeros of form except at . Thus the number of solutions in this interval is finite, not infinite.
So A is false.
- Check option B
Statement: has no solutions in .
We test whether some zero lies in this interval:
Since , possible integers are
So there are several solutions in this interval, e.g.
Hence B is false.
- Check option C
Statement: The set of solutions of in is finite.
We need
There are infinitely many integers . Therefore, there are infinitely many zeros in this interval.
So C is false.
- Check option D
Statement: has more than solutions in .
We need zeros of the form satisfying
Since all quantities are positive, invert carefully:
From
And from
Thus,
Now,
So the integers satisfying this are
Number of such integers:
Thus there are solutions in that interval, which is certainly more than .
So D is true.
