To determine the error in the solution
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
Comparison:
Now both the correct and incorrect solutions are compared side by side to obtain a conclusion.
(i)(ii)
From looking at both the solution it is seen that the solution is correct but the final interpretation is not correct.
Since, the solution obtained is
Hence, there are infinitely many solutions to the given expression, but the interpretation made in the solution is the equation has no solution, which is a wrong interpretation.
Conclusion:
Hence, in the given solution the interpretation has error.
