AP EAMCET · Maths · Continuity and Differentiability

Assertion (A) \(f(x)=|x|\) is differentiable at \(x=a \neq 0\) and continuous but not differentiable at \(x=0\)
Reason (R) If a function is differentiable at a point, then it is continuous at the point. But converse is not true.

  1. A \(\mathrm{A}\) is correct, \(\mathrm{R}\) is correct, \(\mathrm{R}\) is correct explanation of \(\mathrm{A}\)
  2. B A is correct, \(\mathrm{R}\) is correct, but \(\mathrm{R}\) is not correct explanation of \(\mathrm{A}\).
  3. C \(\mathrm{A}\) is correct, \(\mathrm{R}\) is false
  4. D A is false, \(R\) is correct.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{A}\) is correct, \(\mathrm{R}\) is correct, \(\mathrm{R}\) is correct explanation of \(\mathrm{A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the graph of \(f(x)=|x|\), it is clear that \(f(x)\) is everywhere continuous but not differentiable at \(x=0\), due to sharp edge. \(\therefore f(x)=|x|\) is differentiable if \(x \in R-\{0\}\).
