Q23 / 51 · JEE Advanced 2023 (Paper 2) · Mathematics
Let be the function defined as , where denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to . Then which of the following is(are) true?
- Correct answerAThe function is discontinuous exactly at one point in
- Correct answerBThere is exactly one point in at which the function is continuous but NOT differentiable
- CThe function is NOT differentiable at more than three points in
- DThe minimum value of the function is
Solution
Given,
We know that, will be discontinuous function at integer points,
So, as
And function will be discontinuous at because for , will make the function continuos
Hence, the function is discontinuous exactly at one point in , so option is correct,
Now,
Now differentiating the above function we get,
Now from above function we get,
so function is differentiable at
And so function is non-differentiable at , hence option is correct,
Now
Hence, the function is not differentiable at
So, function non-differentiable at two points so option is not correct.
Now plotting the graph from the above value we get,

Now will be minimum between
So,
Now critical points will be
Now putting the value in first derivative we get,
Hence, is point of minima,
So,
Hence, option is wrong.
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B'.
