Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Using cosine rule, we get
`x^(2) = (x + 1)^(2) + b^(2) -2 (x + 1) b cos.(pi)/(3)`
`rArr 0 = 2x + 1 + b^(2) - (x +1) b`
`rArr b^(2) -(x +1) b + 2x + 1 = 0`
Since b is real, we have
`rArr (x + 1)^(2) - 4 (2x +1) ge 0`
`rarr x^(2) -6x - 3 ge 0`
`rArr x ge 3 + sqrt12`
The least integral value of x is 7
