${{x + 1} \over {(x - 1)\,(x - 2)\,(x - 3)}} = $
A
${1 \over {x - 1}} + {3 \over {x - 2}} + {1 \over {x - 3}}$
B
$ - {3 \over {x - 1}} + {1 \over {x - 2}} + {2 \over {x - 3}}$
C
${1 \over {x - 1}} - {3 \over {x - 2}} + {2 \over {x - 3}}$
D
None of these

Solution
(c) ${{x + 1} \over {(x – 1)\,(x – 2)\,(x – 3)}} = {A \over {x – 1}} + {B \over {x – 2}} + {C \over {x – 3}}$
$ \Rightarrow $$x + 1 = A\,(x – 2)\,(x – 3)\, + B(x – 1)\,(x – 3) + C(x – 1)\,(x – 2)$
Putting $x = 1,\,A = 1$ ; $x=2$ gives $B = – 3$,
For $x = 3,\,C = 2$
$\therefore$ Given expression = ${1 \over {x – 1}} – {3 \over {x – 2}} + {2 \over {x – 3}}$.
