The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$\because f(x)=\frac{\cos ^{-1} x}{[x]}$
This function is defined if $-1 \leq x \leq 1$
But $[x] \neq 0$
$\Rightarrow x \notin[0,1)$
$\therefore$ Domain of $f(x)=[-1,0) \cup\{1\}$

Functions

A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. Let A & B be any two non-empty sets, mapping from A to B will be a function only when every element in set A has one end only one image in set B.

Kinds of Functions

The different types of functions are - 

One to One Function: When elements of set A have a separate component of set B, we can determine that it is a one-to-one function. Besides, you can also call it injective.

Many to One Function: As the name suggests, here more than two elements in set A are mapped with one element in set B.

Moreover, if it happens that all the elements in set B have pre-images in set A, it is called an onto function or surjective function.

Also, if a function is both one-to-one and onto function, it is known as a bijective. This means, that all the elements of A are mapped with separate elements in B, and A holds a pre-image of elements of B.
