Let $$3\leq x\leq6$$ and $$\left[x^{2}\right] =\left[x\right]^{2}$$ , where [x] is the greatest integer not exceeding x . If set S represents all feasible values of x, then a possible subset of S is
For n=3,4,5 and $$x\in[n,n+1)$$ we have $$\lfloor x\rfloor=n$$, so the equation
$$\lfloor x^2\rfloor=\lfloor x\rfloor^2=n^2$$
$$x^2\in[n^2,n^2+1)$$, i.e. $$x\in[n,\sqrt{n^2+1})$$
Thus for $$3\le x\le6$$
$$S=[3,\sqrt{10})\ \cup\ [4,\sqrt{17})\ \cup\ [5,\sqrt{26})\ \cup{6}$$
Option B and C have $$\sqrt{10}$$ included, which is not part of the original set. And Option D has $$\sqrt{18}$$. So, it is not possible.
Option A is the answer.
