f(x)=[x]f(x) = [x], where [ ][\,] represents greatest integer function.

(A) For 2≤x<32 \leq x < 3, [x]=3[x] = 3

(B) For 2≤x<32 \leq x < 3, [x]=2[x] = 2

(C) Right hand derivative of f at x=2x = 2 is not defined

(D) Left hand derivative of f at x=2x = 2 is zero

(E) f(x)f(x) is not differentiable at x=2x = 2

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

(A) For 2≤x<32 \leq x < 3, [x]=2[x] = 2, not 3. False.

(B) Correct definition. True.

(C) RHD at x=2x=2: lim⁡h→0+[2+h]−[2]h=2−2h=0\lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{[2+h]-[2]}{h} = \frac{2-2}{h} = 0, defined. False.

(D) LHD at x=2x=2: lim⁡h→0+[2−h]−2−h=1−2−h→∞\lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{[2-h]-2}{-h} = \frac{1-2}{-h} \to \infty, not zero. False.

(E) Since LHD does not exist finitely, ff is not differentiable at x=2x=2. True.

So (B) and (E) only.
