Correct answer: B

  1. Simplify the floor terms

We need to evaluate I=∫410[x2] dx[x2−28x+196]+[x2].I=\int_4^{10} \frac{[x^2]\,dx}{[x^2-28x+196]+[x^2]}.I=∫410​[x2−28x+196]+[x2][x2]dx​.

Notice that x2−28x+196=(x−14)2.x^2-28x+196=(x-14)^2.x2−28x+196=(x−14)2. So I=∫410[x2][(x−14)2]+[x2] dx.I=\int_4^{10} \frac{[x^2]}{[(x-14)^2]+[x^2]}\,dx.I=∫410​[(x−14)2]+[x2][x2]​dx.

Also, (x−14)2=x2−28x+196.(x-14)^2=x^2-28x+196.(x−14)2=x2−28x+196. For x∈[4,10]x\in[4,10]x∈[4,10], we have x2∈[16,100]x^2\in[16,100]x2∈[16,100] and (x−14)2=(14−x)2∈[16,100].(x-14)^2=(14-x)^2\in[16,100].(x−14)2=(14−x)2∈[16,100].

  1. Key observation

Let y=x2.y=x^2.y=x2. Then on the interval [4,10][4,10][4,10], xxx is an integer only at isolated points, so floor behavior is easy to inspect through intervals between integers of x2x^2x2 and (x−14)2(x-14)^2(x−14)2.

But there is a much simpler identity: x2−28x+196=(14−x)2.x^2-28x+196=(14-x)^2.x2−28x+196=(14−x)2. Now make the substitution x=14−t.x=14-t.x=14−t. Then as xxx goes from 444 to 101010, ttt goes from 101010 to 444.

Define f(x)=[x2][x2]+[(14−x)2].f(x)=\frac{[x^2]}{[x^2]+[(14-x)^2]}.f(x)=[x2]+[(14−x)2][x2]​. Then f(14−x)=[(14−x)2][(14−x)2]+[x2].f(14-x)=\frac{[(14-x)^2]}{[(14-x)^2]+[x^2]}.f(14−x)=[(14−x)2]+[x2][(14−x)2]​. Hence, f(x)+f(14−x)=1f(x)+f(14-x)=1f(x)+f(14−x)=1 for all xxx where defined, and here it is defined everywhere on [4,10][4,10][4,10] because denominator is positive.

  1. Use symmetry of the interval

The interval [4,10][4,10][4,10] is symmetric about x=7x=7x=7, and the transformation x↦14−xx\mapsto 14-xx↦14−x maps [4,10][4,10][4,10] onto itself.

Therefore, I=∫410f(x) dx.I=\int_4^{10} f(x)\,dx.I=∫410​f(x)dx. Also, I=∫410f(14−x) dx.I=\int_4^{10} f(14-x)\,dx.I=∫410​f(14−x)dx. Adding,

\int_4^{10} 1\,dx=10-4=6.$$ So, $$I=3.$$ 4. **Compare with options** Thus the value of the integral is $$\boxed{3}.$$ So the correct option is **B**. 5. **Verification with stored answer** Stored correct answer: **B** Our derived answer: **B** They agree.
