Correct answer: C

  1. Let n=[x]n=[x]n=[x] where nnn is an integer.

Then the function becomes f(x)=∣n∣−2∣n∣−3.f(x)=\sqrt{\frac{|n|-2}{|n|-3}}.f(x)=∣n∣−3∣n∣−2​​. For the function to be defined, we need:

  • the denominator nonzero: ∣n∣−3≠0  ⟹  ∣n∣≠3|n|-3\ne 0 \implies |n|\ne 3∣n∣−3=0⟹∣n∣=3
  • the quantity inside the square root non-negative: ∣n∣−2∣n∣−3≥0.\frac{|n|-2}{|n|-3}\ge 0.∣n∣−3∣n∣−2​≥0.

So put t=∣n∣,t=|n|,t=∣n∣, where ttt is a non-negative integer. Then we solve t−2t−3≥0,t≠3.\frac{t-2}{t-3}\ge 0, \quad t\ne 3.t−3t−2​≥0,t=3.

  1. Solve the inequality: Critical points are t=2t=2t=2 and t=3t=3t=3.

Check intervals:

  • For 0≤t<20\le t<20≤t<2: numerator <0<0<0, denominator <0<0<0, so ratio >0>0>0.
  • For t=2t=2t=2: ratio =0=0=0, allowed.
  • For 2<t<32<t<32<t<3: numerator >0>0>0, denominator <0<0<0, so ratio <0<0<0.
  • For t>3t>3t>3: numerator >0>0>0, denominator >0>0>0, so ratio >0>0>0.

Hence allowed values are t∈[0,2]∪(3,∞).t\in [0,2]\cup(3,\infty).t∈[0,2]∪(3,∞). Since t=∣n∣t=|n|t=∣n∣ is integer, this means ∣n∣∈{0,1,2,4,5,6,… }.|n|\in\{0,1,2,4,5,6,\dots\}.∣n∣∈{0,1,2,4,5,6,…}. So forbidden values are only ∣n∣=3.|n|=3.∣n∣=3. Thus n≠±3.n\ne \pm 3.n=±3.

  1. Since n=[x]n=[x]n=[x], the domain excludes all xxx such that [x]=3or[x]=−3.[x]=3 \quad \text{or} \quad [x]=-3.[x]=3or[x]=−3. Now,
  • [x]=3[x]=3[x]=3 for x∈[3,4),x\in [3,4),x∈[3,4),
  • [x]=−3[x]=-3[x]=−3 for x∈[−3,−2).x\in [-3,-2).x∈[−3,−2).

Therefore the domain is R∖([−3,−2)∪[3,4)).\mathbb R\setminus\big([-3,-2)\cup[3,4)\big).R∖([−3,−2)∪[3,4)). So, Domain=(−∞,−3)∪[−2,3)∪[4,∞).\text{Domain}=(-\infty,-3)\cup[-2,3)\cup[4,\infty).Domain=(−∞,−3)∪[−2,3)∪[4,∞).

  1. Compare with the given form (−∞,a)∪[b,c)∪[4,∞),a<b<c.(-\infty,a)\cup[b,c)\cup[4,\infty), \quad a<b<c.(−∞,a)∪[b,c)∪[4,∞),a<b<c. Thus, a=−3,b=−2,c=3.a=-3,\quad b=-2,\quad c=3.a=−3,b=−2,c=3. Hence, a+b+c=−3+(−2)+3=−2.a+b+c=-3+(-2)+3=-2.a+b+c=−3+(−2)+3=−2.

  2. Therefore the correct option is −2\boxed{-2}−2​ which is option C.
