    Let \[[x]\] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to \[x\]and\[f[x]=[{{\tan }^{2}}x]\]. Then,

    A) \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)\] does not exist

    B) \[f(x)\]is continuous at\[x=0\]

    C)  \[f(x)\] is not differentiate at\[x=0\]

    D) \[f'(0)=1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have,                 \[-\frac{\pi }{4}<x<\frac{\pi }{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[-1<\tan x<1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[0\le {{\tan }^{2}}x<1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[[{{\tan }^{2}}x]=0\] \[\therefore \]  \[f(x)=[{{\tan }^{2}}x]=0,\,\,\forall x\in \left( -\frac{\pi }{4},\,\,\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\] Thus, \[f(x)\] is constant function on\[\left( -\frac{\pi }{4},\,\,\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\]. Hence, it is continuous on\[\left( -\frac{\pi }{4},\,\,\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\]and\[f'(x)=0\]\[,\forall x\in \left( -\frac{\pi }{4},\,\,\frac{\pi }{4} \right)\].
