Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((\mathrm{A})\) is true, \((\mathrm{R})\) is true but \((\mathrm{R})\) is not the correct explanation for \(A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The function \(f(x)=|x-a|+|x-b|\) is continuous on \(R\). The function \(\frac{|x-\alpha|}{x-\alpha}\) is continuous at \(x \in \mathbf{R}-\{\alpha\}\)
