Q32 / 90 · KVPY 2014 (SB/SX) · Mathematics

For a real number $x$ let $[x]$ denote the largest number less than or equal to $x$. for $x \in R$ let $f(x)=[x] \sin \pi x$. Then:

  • A
    $\mathrm{f}$ is differentiable on $\mathrm{R}$
  • B
    $f$ is symmetric about the line $x=0$
  • C
    $\int_{-3}^{3} f(x) d x=0$
  • Correct answer
    D
    For each real $\alpha$, the equation $f(x)-\alpha=0$ has infinitely many roots.

Solution

$f(x)=[x] \sin \pi x$ Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
