Q.

The value of 909[10xx+1]dx, where [t] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to t, is ______ .               [2024]


Ans.

(155)

I=909[10xx+1]dx

Now, at x=0, [10xx+1]=0 at x=9, [10xx+1]=3

Integer values between 0 and 3 are 1 and 2

So  [10xx+1]=1 and [10xx+1]=2

10xx+1=1 and 10xx+1=4

10x=x+1 and 10x=4x+4

x=19 and x=23

I=901/9[10xx+1]dx+1/92/3[10xx+1]dx+2/39[10xx+1]dx

=9[01/90dx+1/92/31dx+2/392dx]        [ [t] is a greatest integer function]

=9[0+23-19+18-43]=9[-23-19+18]

=162-6-1=155
