Correct answer: B

  1. Understand the integrand

    We need to evaluate ∫0aex−[x] dx,\int_0^a e^{x-[x]}\,dx,∫0a​ex−[x]dx, where [x][x][x] is the greatest integer function.

    On each interval [n,n+1)[n,n+1)[n,n+1), we have [x]=n[x]=n[x]=n, so x−[x]=x−n.x-[x]=x-n.x−[x]=x−n. Hence, ex−[x]=ex−n.e^{x-[x]}=e^{x-n}.ex−[x]=ex−n.

  2. Integral over one unit interval

    For any integer nnn, ∫nn+1ex−n dx=∫01et dt=e−1.\int_n^{n+1} e^{x-n}\,dx = \int_0^1 e^t\,dt = e-1.∫nn+1​ex−ndx=∫01​etdt=e−1.

    So each complete interval of length 111 contributes exactly e−1e-1e−1.

  3. Write aaa in the form a=n+ra=n+ra=n+r

    Let a=n+r,a=n+r,a=n+r, where n=[a]n=[a]n=[a] is an integer and 0≤r<10\le r<10≤r<1.

    Then ∫0aex−[x]dx=∑k=0n−1∫kk+1ex−kdx+∫nn+rex−ndx.\int_0^a e^{x-[x]}dx = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\int_k^{k+1} e^{x-k}dx + \int_n^{n+r} e^{x-n}dx.∫0a​ex−[x]dx=∑k=0n−1​∫kk+1​ex−kdx+∫nn+r​ex−ndx.

    Therefore, ∫0aex−[x]dx=n(e−1)+∫0ret dt.\int_0^a e^{x-[x]}dx = n(e-1) + \int_0^r e^t\,dt.∫0a​ex−[x]dx=n(e−1)+∫0r​etdt.

    So, ∫0aex−[x]dx=n(e−1)+(er−1).\int_0^a e^{x-[x]}dx = n(e-1) + (e^r-1).∫0a​ex−[x]dx=n(e−1)+(er−1).

  4. Use the given value

    Given, n(e−1)+(er−1)=10e−9.n(e-1) + (e^r-1) = 10e-9.n(e−1)+(er−1)=10e−9.

    Rearranging, n(e−1)+er=10e−8.n(e-1) + e^r = 10e-8.n(e−1)+er=10e−8.

  5. Find the integer part nnn

    Since 0≤r<10\le r<10≤r<1, we have 1≤er<e.1\le e^r<e.1≤er<e.

    Thus, n(e−1)+1≤10e−9<n(e−1)+(e−1?)n(e-1)+1 \le 10e-9 < n(e-1)+(e-1?)n(e−1)+1≤10e−9<n(e−1)+(e−1?) but it is easier to test nearby integers.

    Try n=9n=9n=9: 9(e−1)+(er−1)=9e−9+er−1=9e−10+er.9(e-1) + (e^r-1) = 9e-9 + e^r -1 = 9e-10 + e^r.9(e−1)+(er−1)=9e−9+er−1=9e−10+er. Setting equal to 10e−910e-910e−9 gives 9e−10+er=10e−9,9e-10+e^r = 10e-9,9e−10+er=10e−9, er=e+1,e^r = e+1,er=e+1, which is impossible because er<ee^r<eer<e.

    Try n=10n=10n=10: 10(e−1)+(er−1)=10e−10+er−1=10e−11+er.10(e-1) + (e^r-1) = 10e-10 + e^r -1 = 10e-11+e^r.10(e−1)+(er−1)=10e−10+er−1=10e−11+er. Setting equal to 10e−910e-910e−9 gives 10e−11+er=10e−9,10e-11+e^r = 10e-9,10e−11+er=10e−9, er=2.e^r = 2.er=2. This is possible, since 1<2<e1<2<e1<2<e.

    Hence, r=ln⁡2.r=\ln 2.r=ln2.

  6. Compute aaa

    Therefore, a=n+r=10+ln⁡2.a=n+r=10+\ln 2.a=n+r=10+ln2.

  7. Match with options

    a=10+log⁡e2,a=10+\log_e 2,a=10+loge​2, which is Option B.
