    Which of the following statements is incorrect

    A) x sgn x = \[\left| x \right|\]

    B) \[\left| x \right|\] sgn x = x

    C) \[x(sgn\,x)(sgn\,x)=x\]

    D) \[\left| x \right|\,{{(sgn\,x)}^{3}}=\left| x \right|\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Checking the options
    a. LHS \[=x\sgn x=x\times (+1)=x\,\,if\,\,x>0\]
    \[x\times 0=0\,\,if\,\,x=0\]
    \[x\times (-1)=-x\,\,if\,\,x<0\]
    \[=\left| x \right|=RHS\]
    b. LHS\[=\left| x \right|\operatorname{sgnx}=(+x)\times (+1)=x\,\,if\,\,x>0\]
    \[0\times 0=0\,\,if\,\,\,x=0\]
    \[(-x)\times (-1)=x\,\,if\,\,x<0\]
    Therefore, statement is correct.
    c. \[LHS=(x(sgn\,\,x))\times sgn\,x=\left| x \right|\sgn x\] (from (a))=x (from (b))= RHS
    d. LHS \[(\left| x \right|sgn\,x){{(sgn\,x)}^{2}}=x{{(sgn\,x)}^{2}}(from(b))\]
    \[=\left| x \right|\times (sgnx)\,\] (From (a))
    \[=x\]                (From (b))
    \[\ne RHS\]
    Therefore, statement is incorrect.
