Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

Let ƒ : (1, 3) $\to$ R be a function defined by
$f(x) = {{x\left[ x \right]} \over {1 + {x^2}}}$ , where [x] denotes the greatest integer $\le$ x. Then the range of ƒ is

  1. A $$\left( {{2 \over 5},{1 \over 2}} \right) \cup \left( {{3 \over 4},{4 \over 5}} \right]$$ Correct answer
  2. B $\left( {{3 \over 5},{4 \over 5}} \right)$
  3. C $\left( {{2 \over 5},{4 \over 5}} \right]$
  4. D $$\left( {{2 \over 5},{3 \over 5}} \right] \cup \left( {{3 \over 4},{4 \over 5}} \right)$$

Solution

f(x) = $$\left\{ {\matrix{ {{x \over {{x^2} + 1}},} &amp; {1 &lt; x &lt; 2} \cr {{{2x} \over {{x^2} + 1}},} &amp; {2 \le x &lt; 3} \cr } } \right.$$ <br><br>$\therefore$ f(x) is decreasing function <br><br>$\therefore$ Range is $$\left( {{2 \over 5},{1 \over 2}} \right) \cup \left( {{3 \over 4},{4 \over 5}} \right]$$.
