Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(18\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( |2 \mathrm{a}-1|=3[\mathrm{a}]+2\{\mathrm{a}\} \) \( |2 \mathrm{a}-1|=[\mathrm{a}]+2 \mathrm{a}\) Case \(-1\) : \(\mathrm{a}>\frac{1}{2} \) \( 2 \mathrm{a}-1=[\mathrm{a}]+2 \mathrm{a} \) \( {[\mathrm{a}]=-1 \quad \therefore \mathrm{a} \in[-1,0) \text { Reject }} \)…
