Correct answer: B
Part (P)
The function is given by . We need to find the minimum natural number for which is continuous on the interval .
-
Let . The function is the greatest integer function. For to be continuous on a closed interval, it must be a constant function. Let's assume for some integer .
-
For to be constant, the range of over must lie within an interval of the form for some integer . That is, for all .
-
Let's find the range of the numerator, , on . We first check for its monotonicity by finding its derivative: For , , which means is a strictly decreasing function on .
-
The extreme values of will be at the endpoints of the interval: . . So, the range of on is .
-
The range of on is .
-
For to be continuous, this range must be a subset of for some integer . This gives us the conditions:
-
From these inequalities, we get: So, we are looking for an integer such that . For such an integer to exist, we test integer values of (which must be positive since is positive).
- If . This gives .
- If . This gives .
- If . No integer .
- If . No integer .
-
The possible values for are . The minimum value of is 9.
(P) matches with (2) which is 9.
Part (Q)
The function is . We need the minimum value of for which is an increasing function on .
-
For to be an increasing function, its derivative must be non-negative for all . Let . Then .
-
The term is always positive for all . Therefore, the sign of is determined by the sign of the constant .
-
For to be increasing, we need , which implies .
-
We find the roots of the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula: The roots are and .
-
Since the quadratic has a positive leading coefficient, the inequality holds for or .
-
Since must be a natural number (), we must have . The smallest natural number satisfying this condition is .
(Q) matches with (1) which is 8.
Part (R)
The function is . We are given that is a natural number, , and is a point of local minima.
-
For to be a point of local minima, we must have for all in a small neighborhood of 3.
-
Let's evaluate : (since ).
-
So, the condition for a local minimum is in a neighborhood of .
-
Let's analyze the sign of near . The factor has discriminant and a positive leading coefficient, so it is always positive.
-
The sign of is therefore determined by the sign of .
- For near 3 but , , so . This means .
- For near 3 but , . The sign of depends on whether is even or odd.
- If is odd, , which means . In this case, is not a local minimum.
- If is even, , which means .
-
For to hold for all near 3, must be an even number.
-
We are given that is a natural number and . The smallest even natural number greater than 5 is 6.
(R) matches with (4) which is 6.
Part (S)
The function is . We need to find the number of points where is not differentiable.
-
The differentiability of depends on the differentiability of its individual terms.
-
Consider the function . Let's check its differentiability at .
- Right derivative: .
- Left derivative: . Since the left and right derivatives are not equal, is not differentiable at . Thus, is not differentiable at .
-
Consider the function . Since is an even function, . The function is differentiable for all . Thus, is differentiable for all .
-
The function is a sum of several functions. The terms for are all differentiable everywhere.
-
The points of non-differentiability of are determined by the terms . The term is not differentiable only at . For , is not differentiable at . For , is not differentiable at . For , is not differentiable at . For , is not differentiable at . For , is not differentiable at .
-
At each point , one of the terms in the sum is not differentiable while all other terms are differentiable. The sum of a non-differentiable function and differentiable functions is non-differentiable. Therefore, is not differentiable at these five points.
-
The number of points where is not differentiable is 5.
(S) matches with (3) which is 5.
Conclusion
The final matching is:
- (P) → 9 → (2)
- (Q) → 8 → (1)
- (R) → 6 → (4)
- (S) → 5 → (3)
This corresponds to the option (P) → (2), (Q) → (1), (R) → (4), (S) → (3), which is option B.
