Correct option is C

For any positive integer k and x, we have[x]= k ⇔ k2≤x<(k+1)2⇔x∈k2,k2+2k∴        [x]=1 for x=1,2,3.           [x]=2 for x=4,5,6,7,8,           [x]=3  for  x=9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,           . . . . . .         [x]=44  for  x=1936, ......., 2024Thus,  S=(1)(3)+(2)(5)+3(7)+…+44(89)              =∑k=144 (k)(2k+1)=2∑k=144 (k)2+∑k=144 (k)=26(44)(45)(89)+12(44)(45)=59730
