Match the statements/expressions given in Column I with the values given in Column II.

Column I
(A) Root(s) of the equation
(B) Points of discontinuity of the function , where denotes the largest integer less than or equal to
(C) Volume of the parallelopiped with its edges represented by the vectors and
(D) Angle between vectors and where and are unit vectors satisfying

Column II
(p)
(q)
(r)
(s)
(t)

Answer: A → II, A → IV, B → I, B → III, B → IV, B → V, C → V, D → III

Solution

(A) simplifies to , giving , so . Matches (q), (s).

(B) The function is discontinuous where either floor function jumps. For , discontinuities occur at . Matches (p), (r), (s), (t).

(C) Volume = . Matches (t).

(D) From , we get . Since , we have , so and . Matches (r).
