  1. A 104
  2. B 100
  3. C 102
  4. D 103
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 103

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}(x)=[x] \\
& x \in\left(\frac{-7}{2}, 100\right) \\
& x \in(-3.5,100)
\end{aligned}\)
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 .
