Three distinct single digit no A,B and c are in G.M ,if abs(x) for real x is the absolute value of x(x , if x is positive or zero,and -x if x is negative), then the number of different possible values of abs (A+B -C) is;
a)3
b)6
c)5
d)4

• 2,4,8 |2+4-8|=2 |-2-4+8|=2
  1,3,9 |1+3-9|=5 |-1-4+9|=5
  ans d..4

• for(1,2,4) abs(1+2-4)=1
  for(3,6,9) abs(3+6-9)=5
  for(2,4,6) abs(2+4-8)=2
  for(1,-2,4) abs(1-2-4)=5
  for(1,-3,9) abs(1-3-9)=11
  for(2,-4,8) abs(2-6-8)=10
  
  1,2,5,10,11
  answer is 5

• Ans:6
  Once we assign one value to A,we cant assign the same value to another variable i.e B or C.Bcoz A,B,C are three distinct single digit numbers.So we can assign three sets of nos to A,B nd C like (1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8,9) if we take this set for positive and negative then diff no of possible values to A,B nd C are 6

• 3 possible values.
  1,5 and 11
  as a can be 1,2,-1,-2 and r can be 3,-3,2,-2. Taking all the combinations and evaluating abs(a+ar-ar^2)

• total possible combinations are
  1 2 4
  -1 -2 -4
  2 4 8
  -2 -4 -8
  1 3 9
  -1 -3 -9
  each combination will result into 1 value but two combinations will result into same value.
  but what is asked is number of different values:
  so it will be 3
