$$|x-3| + |x-4| < 1$$ ; take three cases

1.$$x>4$$

$$|x-3| + |x-4| < 1$$

$$x-3 +x-4 <1$$

x<4 not possible as we have assumed x>4

2.$$3<x<4$$

$$|x-3| + |x-4| < 1$$

$$x-3 + 4-x < 1$$ not possible

3. $$x<3$$

$$|x-3| + |x-4| < 1$$

$$3-x + 4-x <1$$

$$x> 3$$ not possible

hence 0 solution

PS: Make sure you check the answer against the domain. It should satisfy the domain.
