    Let \[f\,(x)={{[x]}^{2}}+[x+1]-3,\] where \[[x]=\]the greatest integer ≤ x. Then

    A) \[f\,(x)\] is a many-one and into function

    B) \[f\,(x)=0\]for exactly five number of values of x

    C) \[f\,(x)=0\] for only two real values

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[f\,(x)={{[x]}^{2}}+[x+1]-3=\{[x]+2\}\,\,\{[x]-1\}\]
    So, x = 1, 1.1, 1.2, ?    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[f\,(x)=0\]
    \[\therefore \]      f(x) is many one
    only integral values will be attained
    \[\therefore \]      f(x) is into
