Options:

A) $ (-\infty ,-7) $

B) $ (-7,4) $

C) $ (-4,1) $

D) $ (1,\infty ) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • [c] $ \frac{x^{2}+6x-7}{| x+4 |}<0 $
    $ \Rightarrow x^{2}+6x-7<0, $ provided $ x+4\ne 0 $ $ [\because | x+4 |>,0ifx\ne -,4] $
    $ \Rightarrow (x+7)(x-1)<0,x\ne -4\Rightarrow -7<x<1, $ $ x\ne -4 $
    $ \therefore x\in (-7,-4)\cup (-4,1) $
