Solution

The correct option is C

Limit doesn't exist


Lets try to draw the greatest integer function.

Greatest integer function is also called step function where its breaks at each integer. This type of sudden breaks comes under non removable discontinuity of the second type.

Here,

limx1f(x)=limx1[x]=0

and limx1+f(x)=limx1+[x]=1

Since L.H.L R.H.L we can say the limit doesn't exist.
