  1. A 0
  2. B -1
  3. C -2
  4. D -3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) -2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & f(x)=|x|+|\sin x| \\ & \text { LHD }=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(0-h)-f(0)}{0-h} \\ & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{|0-h|+|\sin (0-h)|-(0+0)}{0-h} \\ & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{h+\sin h}{-h}=-\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(1+\frac{\sin h}{h}\right) \\…
