For real $$x$$, the function $$\,{{\left( {x - a} \right)\left( {x - b} \right)} \over {x - c}}$$ will assume all real values provided

If the product of the roots of the equation $$\,{x^2} - 3\,k\,x + 2\,{e^{2lnk}} - 1 = 0\,\,\,\,is\,7$$, then the roots are real for k = .................................

If a < b < c < d, then the roots of the equation (x - a) (x - c) + 2 ( x - b) (x - d) = 0 are real and distinct.

The equation $$x - {2 \over {x - 1}} = 1 - {2 \over {x - 1}}$$ has
