  • Recall King's Property of Definite Integrals:

  • Replace with in our integral:

  • Simplify the sine term:

  • Simplify the cosine term:

  • The integral becomes:
  • This is exactly .

  • Add the original and the new :

  • Recall the property of the Greatest Integer Function:
  • , if

  • Since is an integer only at discrete points, the area contribution of these points is zero.
  • Thus, we can substitute: .

  • Substitute into the integral:
  • Integrating gives:

  • Solve for :
  • The correct option is .

Analyzing the Setup

To solve the integral , we first define the function inside the greatest integer brackets as:
The goal is to evaluate the integral of the floor function over the interval .

Applying Symmetry

The limits of integration, to , suggest the use of the King's Property, which states:
Applying this to our function with , we substitute with :

The Master Equation

Combining these results, we find the symmetry of the function:
We now express the integral in two ways:
Adding these two equations yields:

Final Calculation

We utilize the property of the greatest integer function, which states that for all $t otin \mathbb{Z}$. Since the set of points where is an integer has measure zero, we can treat the integrand as almost everywhere:
Dividing by , we arrive at the final result:
