B

Statement I is correct, Statement II is also correct, Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

C

Statement I is correct, Statement II is incorrect

D

The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements given in the question, we will break down each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I We are given the function: \[ f(x) = \sin x + [x] \] where \([x]\) is the greatest integer function (also known as the floor function). #### Step 1.1: Check Continuity at \(x = 0\) - The greatest integer function \([x]\) is discontinuous at every integer, including \(x = 0\). - At \(x = 0\): - \(\sin(0) = 0\) - \([0] = 0\) - Thus, \(f(0) = \sin(0) + [0] = 0 + 0 = 0\). #### Step 1.2: Check Left and Right Limits - For \(x\) approaching \(0\) from the left (\(x \to 0^-\)): - \([x] = -1\) (since for values like \(-0.1, -0.5\), the greatest integer is \(-1\)). - Thus, \(f(0^-) = \sin(0) + [-1] = 0 - 1 = -1\). - For \(x\) approaching \(0\) from the right (\(x \to 0^+\)): - \([x] = 0\) (since for values like \(0.1, 0.5\), the greatest integer is \(0\)). - Thus, \(f(0^+) = \sin(0) + [0] = 0 + 0 = 0\). #### Step 1.3: Conclusion for Statement I - Since \(f(0^-) = -1\) and \(f(0^+) = 0\), and \(f(0) = 0\), we find that: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) \] - Therefore, \(f(x)\) is discontinuous at \(x = 0\). ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II Statement II states: "If \(g(x)\) is continuous and \(f(x)\) is discontinuous, then \(g(x) + f(x)\) will necessarily be discontinuous at \(x = a\)." #### Step 2.1: Understanding Continuity and Discontinuity - A function \(g(x)\) being continuous means that: \[ \lim_{x \to a} g(x) = g(a) \] - If \(f(x)\) is discontinuous at \(x = a\), then: \[ \lim_{x \to a} f(x) \neq f(a) \] #### Step 2.2: Check the Sum \(g(x) + f(x)\) - For the sum \(g(x) + f(x)\): - We have: \[ \lim_{x \to a} (g(x) + f(x)) = \lim_{x \to a} g(x) + \lim_{x \to a} f(x) \] - Since \(g(x)\) is continuous, we can replace \(\lim_{x \to a} g(x)\) with \(g(a)\): \[ \lim_{x \to a} (g(x) + f(x)) = g(a) + \lim_{x \to a} f(x) \] #### Step 2.3: Conclusion for Statement II - Since \(\lim_{x \to a} f(x) \neq f(a)\), it follows that: \[ g(a) + \lim_{x \to a} f(x) \neq g(a) + f(a) \] - Therefore, \(g(x) + f(x)\) is also discontinuous at \(x = a\). ### Final Conclusion - Both statements are true: - Statement I is true because \(f(x)\) is discontinuous at \(x = 0\). - Statement II is true because the sum of a continuous function and a discontinuous function is discontinuous. ### Answer Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
