Q.

Let [t] be the greatest integer less than or equal to t. Then the least value of p∈N for which limx→0+(x([1x]+[2x]+...+[px])–x2([1x2]+[22x2]+...+[92x2]))≥1 is equal to _________.          [2025]


Ans.

(24)

We have,

limx→0+(x([1x]+[2x]+...+[px])–x2([1x2]+[22x2]+...+[92x2]))≥1

⇒ (1+2+...+p)–(12+22+...+92)≥1

⇒ p(p+1)2–9.10.196≥1

⇒ p(p+1)≥572 ⇒ p≥24.
