    The solution set of \[{{(x)}^{2}}+{{(x+1)}^{2}}=25,\] where (x) is the least integer greater than or equal to x, is

    A) \[(2,4)\]

    B) \[(-5,-4]\cup (2,3]\]

    C) \[[-4,-3)\cup [3,4)\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[{{(x)}^{2}}+{{(x+1)}^{2}}=25\Rightarrow {{(x)}^{2}}+{{\{(x)+1\}}^{2}}=25\] \[\Rightarrow 2{{(x)}^{2}}+2(x)-24=0\] \[\Rightarrow {{(x)}^{2}}+(x)-12=0\Rightarrow (x)=-4or3\] Now \[(x)=-4\Rightarrow -5<x\le -4\]and \[(x)=3\Rightarrow 2<x\le 3\] \[\therefore \] Solution set is \[(-5,\,\,-\,4]\cup (2,\,\,3]\]
