Question
Statement 1: Let n be some integer greater than 1, then floor 
is 1.
Statement 2: Let n be some integer greater than 1, then ceiling is 1.
- Only statement 1 is correct
- Only statement 2 is correct
- Both statements 1 & 2 are correct
- Both statements 1 & 2 are not correct
Hint:
The ceil function returns the smallest integer value which is greater than or equal to the specified number, whereas the floor function returns the largest integer value which is less than or equal to the specified number.
The correct answer is: Only statement 2 is correct
We have to find which of the two given statements are true.
Since will always be less than one, thus, floor is 0.
Since will always be less than one, thus, ceiling is 1.
Hence, the correct option is A.
The ceiling function is also known as the smallest integer function. The floor function is the greatest integer function.
