Let , where is the greatest integer function. Then

  1. A

    only for

  2. B

    only for

  3. C

  4. D

    for finitely many values of .

Solution

Since , we get .

This is positive when or , i.e., , so (1) is false.

It is negative when , i.e., , so (2) is correct.

, so (3) is false.

when or , each giving an interval — infinitely many solutions, so (4) is false.
