Statement 1 : Minimum number of points of discontinuity of the function \mathrm{f(x)=(g(x))[2 x-1] \forall x \in(-3,-1)}.Where [.] denotes the greatest integer function and \mathrm{g(x)=a x^3+x^{2}+1} is zero .

Statement 2 : \mathrm{f(x)} can be continuous at a point of discontinuously, say \mathrm{x=c_1 \text { of }[2 r-1] \text { if } g\left(c_1\right)=0 \text {. }}

Clearly, [2x-1] is discontinuous at three points  \mathrm{x=\frac{-5}{2}, \frac{-3}{2}} and -2

f(x) may be continuous if \mathrm{g(x)=a x^3+x^2+1=0 \text { at } x=\frac{-5}{2}, \frac{-3}{2}}

 or -2

g(x) can be zero ztleast one point

\therefore minimum number of points of discontinuity=2
