Question 32

Suppose for any real number x, [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Let L(x, y) = [x] + [y] + [x + y] and R(x, y) = [2x] + [2y]. Then it is impossible to find any two positive real numbers x and y for which

Solution

Consider different values of x and y:

x = -1.5 and y = -1.5; x = 1.5 and y = -1.5; x = -1.5 and y = 1.5; x = 1.5 and y = 1.5.

For these possibilities, options A,B and C gets satisfied , but it is impossible to find any two positive real numbers x and y for which L(x, y) > R(x, y).
