Let $[t]$ represents the greatest integer not exceeding $t$, Then the number of discontinuous points of $\left[10^x\right]$ in $(0,10)$ is
  1. $10^{10}-1$
  2. $10^{10}$
  3. $10^{10}-2$
  4. $\mathrm{e}^{10}$

Solution

(c) Given $0 < x < 10$ $ \Rightarrow 1 < 10^x < 10^{10} $ Let $0 \leq x \leq 1$ then $\left[10^x\right]$ will have to points of discontinuity But when $0 < x < 1$ the $[10 x]$ will have only $\left(10^1-2\right)=8$ points of discontinuity because we are leaving point $0 \& 1$. Similarly, when $0 < \mathrm{x} < 10$ then $[10 x]$ will have $\left(10^{10}-2\right)$ points of discontinuity
