The correct answer is: x

Given that, f is defined on 0, 1 by f(x)=min{x-[x],-x-[x]}

We know that Greatest Integer Function is a function that gives the greatest integer less than or equal to the number.

If x0, 1, then x=0

Also, for x0, 1, since x is positive, we have x>-x

f(x)=x

Now, (fofofof)(x)=(fofof)f(x)

=(fofof)(x)

=(fof)f(x)

=(fof)(x)

=f(f(x))=x

Hence, (fofofof)(x)=x.
