Answer:

2 is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation $e^x=4x+1$ .

We will plot the graphs of the function $e^x$ and $4x+1$ .

Then, the intersection points of both the graph will be the solution of the equation $e^x=4x+1$ .

From the graphs, we see that,

The intersection points of the graphs are (0,1) and (2.337,10.347).

The solution of the equation is the value of 'x' co-ordinate where they intersect.

So, we get, x = 2 is the correct option.
