JEE Main 2025 — 28 January, Evening Shift — Question 15

Let [x][x] denote the greatest integer less than or equal to xx. Then domain of f(x)=sec⁡−1(2[x]+1)f(x)=\sec ^{-1}(2[x]+1) is :

  1. Option A:

    (−∞,−1]∪[0,∞)(-\infty,-1] \cup[0, \infty)

  2. Option B:

    (−∞,∞)(-\infty,\infty)

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    (−∞,−1]∪[1,∞)(-\infty,-1] \cup[1, \infty)

  4. Option D:

    (−∞,∞]−{0}(-\infty, \infty]-\{0\}

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

2[x]+1≤−12[\mathrm{x}]+1 \leq-1 or 2[x]+1≥12[\mathrm{x}]+1 \geq 1

⇒[x]≤−1∪[x]≥0\Rightarrow[\mathrm{x}] \leq-1 \cup[\mathrm{x}] \geq 0

⇒x∈(−∞,0)∪x∈[0,∞)\Rightarrow \mathrm{x} \in(-\infty, 0) \cup \mathrm{x} \in[0, \infty)

⇒x∈(−∞,∞)\Rightarrow \mathrm{x} \in(-\infty, \infty)
