If [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x, then the value of 15[x3]dx\int _ { 1 } ^ { 5 } [ | x - 3 | ] d x is

A

1

B

2

C

4

D

8

Answer

2

Explanation

Solution

I=15[x3]dxI = \int _ { 1 } ^ { 5 } [ | x - 3 | ] d x I=13[(x3)]dx+35[(x3)]dx\Rightarrow I = \int _ { 1 } ^ { 3 } [ - ( x - 3 ) ] d x + \int _ { 3 } ^ { 5 } [ ( x - 3 ) ] d x

I=12[(x3)]dx+23[(x3)]dx+34[x3]dx+45[x3]dx\Rightarrow I = \int _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } [ - ( x - 3 ) ] d x + \int _ { 2 } ^ { 3 } [ - ( x - 3 ) ] d x + \int _ { 3 } ^ { 4 } [ x - 3 ] d x + \int _ { 4 } ^ { 5 } [ x - 3 ] d x

=[x]12+[x]45= [ x ] _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } + [ x ] _ { 4 } ^ { 5 }

I=(21)+(54)=2\Rightarrow I = ( 2 - 1 ) + ( 5 - 4 ) = 2.
