1) d = y-[y]

Some examples of the function defined:
[4.3] = 4
[4] = 4
[5] = 5

So, you can see for any number 4<=x<5, [x] = 4

Is d <1 ?

Statement 1:
d = y-[y]
If y =5, d = 0 < 1
If y = 4.3 , d = 4.3 -4 = 0.3 <1
You can try for any number, and will get the same result.

Sufficient

Statement 2:
[d] = 0
=> 0<= d <1
Sufficient

Hence, D
