only 1 and 2 values satisfy both sides of the equation, thus the answer should be B and D

If someone is geek like me who loves to solve equations, then there will be 2 equations after removing modulus:-
x^2-x+1 = 2x-1 and x^2-x+1 = -2x+1
Solving these
we will get x=1,-1,2,0
Hence, A B and D.
x^2-x+1 = 2x-1 and x^2-x+1 = -2x+1
Solving these
we will get x=1,-1,2,0
Hence, A B and D.
