The number of discontinuities of the greatest integer function $\mathrm{f}(x)=[x], x \in\left(-\frac{7}{2}, 100\right)$
  1. 104
  2. 100
  3. 102
  4. 103

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}(x)=[x] \\ & x \in\left(\frac{-7}{2}, 100\right) \\ & x \in(-3.5,100) \end{aligned}$ As we know greatest integer is discontinuous on integer values in given interval, the integer values are $\{-3,-2,-1,0 \ldots 99\}$ $\therefore \quad$ Total number of discontinuities are 103 .
