Question

Let $$f\left( x \right) = \left[ {{x^3} - 3} \right],\,\left[ x \right] = {\text{G}}{\text{.I}}{\text{.F}}{\text{.}}$$      Then the number of points in the interval $$\left( {1,\,2} \right)$$  where function is discontinuous is :

A. 5
B. 4
C. 6  
D. 3
Answer :   6
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & f\left( x \right) = \left[ {{x^3} - 3} \right] \cr & {\left( {1.26} \right)^3} = 2 - 3 = - 1\,;\,{\left( {1.44} \right)^3} = 3 - 3 = 0 \cr} $$
Similarly, we can check for other points where $$f\left( x \right)$$  changes values to $$1,\,2,\,3,\,4$$
$$\therefore $$  Total number of points of discontinuity are '6'
