[.] represents the greatest integer function. At $x=-1, \frac{d}{d x} \sin \pi[x]=$
  1. 0
  2. 2
  3. -2
  4. $1 / 2$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Let } y=[x] \\ & y \in z \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \sin \pi y=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d}{d x} \sin \pi[x]=0 \Rightarrow \frac{d}{d x} \sin \pi[-1]=0\end{aligned}$
