JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Functions Question Bank Continuity

  • question_answer
    At which points the function\[f(x)=\frac{x}{[x]}\], where\[[.]\] is greatest integer function, is discontinuous

    A)            Only positive integers               

    B)            All positive and negative integers and (0, 1)

    C)            All rational numbers

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               (i) When \[0\le x<1\]                    \[f(x)\] doesn't exist as [x] = 0 here.                    (ii) Also \[\underset{x\to 1+}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)\] and \[\underset{x\to 1-}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)\] does not exist.            Hence \[f(x)\] is discontinuous at all integers and also in (0, 1).
