Detailed Solution

Given g(x) is a continuous function ∀x∈R and the range of f(x) is (1,30​) and g(x)=[f(x)a​] is continuous ∀x∈R

Hence for g(x) to be continuous, a>30

Because if we take any value of a between (1,30) like 3,4,5 then, when f(x) varies from 1 to  30 and due to greatest integer function g(x) become discontinuous at a=3,4,5.

So, for continuity a=6.

Hence, the least value of a is 6.
