Let x and x denote the fractional part of x and the greatest integer x respectively of a real number x. if 0nxdx, 0nxdx and 10n2-n,(nN,n>1) are three consecutive terms of a G.P. then n is equal to__

Solution

0nxdx=n01xdx=nx2201=n2
and 0nxdx=0nx-xdx=x220n-0nxdx=n22-n2
Now, n2,n2-n2 and 10n2-n are in Geometric progression

So,n2-n22=n2·10n2-n
n2(n-1)24=5.n2(n-1)
n-1=20n=21 n1
