If $\alpha$ be the number of solutions of the equation $[\sin x]=|x|$ and $\beta$ be the greatest value of the function $f(x)=\cos \left(x^2-\left[x^2\right]\right)$ in the interval $[-1,1]$, then
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Since, $-1 \leq \sin x \leq 1$ for all $x$. Therefore,
$[\sin x]=\left\{\begin{aligned}
-1, & \text { when }-1 \leq \sin x<0 \\
0, & \text { when } 0 \leq \sin x<1 \\
1, & \text { when } \sin x=1 .
\end{aligned}\right.$
The given equation is
$[\sin x]=|x|$
$\Rightarrow \quad[\sin x] \geq 0$
∴ $[\sin x]=0,1$
Thus, $[\sin x]=|x| \Rightarrow|x|=0,1 \Rightarrow x=0, \pm 1$
But, only $x=0$ satisfies the equation (i). Therefore, $\alpha=1$.
Now,
$\beta$ = Greatest value of $\cos \left(x^2-\left[x^2\right]\right) \text { in }[-1,1]$
$\beta$ = 1 $\left[∵ \cos \left(x^2-\left[x^2\right]\right)=\cos 0=1 \text { at } x=0\right]$
Hence, $\alpha=\beta$.
