Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((-1,3)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, \[ \begin{aligned} & \qquad f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} {[x] \text { if }-3 < x \leq-1} \\ |x| \text { if }-1 < x < 1 \\ |[x]| \text { if } 1 \leq x < 3 \end{array}\right. \\ & \text { When }-3 < x \leq-1, f(x)=[x] \\ & \Rightarrow \quad f(x) < 0 \end{aligned} \]
