Correct answer: B

  1. We are given f(x)=[x]−[x4]f(x)=[x]-\left[\frac{x}{4}\right]f(x)=[x]−[4x​] and we need to examine the behavior at x=4x=4x=4.

  2. Compute the value at x=4x=4x=4: f(4)=[4]−[44]=4−[1]=4−1=3.f(4)=[4]-\left[\frac{4}{4}\right]=4-[1]=4-1=3.f(4)=[4]−[44​]=4−[1]=4−1=3.

  3. Find the left-hand limit as x→4−x\to 4^-x→4−.

If x→4−x\to 4^-x→4−, then xxx is slightly less than 444, so [x]=3[x]=3[x]=3 and x4<1⇒[x4]=0.\frac{x}{4}<1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \left[\frac{x}{4}\right]=0.4x​<1⇒[4x​]=0. Hence, f(x)=3−0=3.f(x)=3-0=3.f(x)=3−0=3. Therefore, lim⁡x→4−f(x)=3.\lim_{x\to 4^-} f(x)=3.limx→4−​f(x)=3.

  1. Find the right-hand limit as x→4+x\to 4^+x→4+.

If x→4+x\to 4^+x→4+, then xxx is slightly greater than 444 but less than 555, so [x]=4.[x]=4.[x]=4. Also, 1<x4<54⇒[x4]=1.1<\frac{x}{4}<\frac{5}{4} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \left[\frac{x}{4}\right]=1.1<4x​<45​⇒[4x​]=1. Hence, f(x)=4−1=3.f(x)=4-1=3.f(x)=4−1=3. Therefore, lim⁡x→4+f(x)=3.\lim_{x\to 4^+} f(x)=3.limx→4+​f(x)=3.

  1. Compare with f(4)f(4)f(4): lim⁡x→4−f(x)=lim⁡x→4+f(x)=3=f(4).\lim_{x\to 4^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to 4^+}f(x)=3=f(4).limx→4−​f(x)=limx→4+​f(x)=3=f(4). So fff is continuous at x=4x=4x=4.

  2. Check options:

  • A: False, because both one-sided limits are equal.
  • B: True, because fff is continuous at x=4x=4x=4.
  • C: False.
  • D: False.

Hence the correct option is B.\boxed{\text{B}}.B​.
