Which of the following statements are correct ?

(A) If f:R→Rf : R \to R then f(x)=∣x∣f(x) = |x| is continuous everywhere.

(B) If f:R→Rf : R \to R then f(x)=∣x∣f(x) = |x| is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at x=0x = 0.

(C) Let f:R−{0}→Rf : R - \{0\} \to R then f(x)=1xf(x) = \frac{1}{x} is continuous everywhere.

(D) Let f:R→Rf : R \to R then f(x)=∣x−1∣+∣x−2∣f(x) = |x - 1| + |x - 2| is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at exactly 2 points.

(E) If f:R→Rf : R \to R then f(x)=cot⁡xf(x) = \cot x is continuous everywhere.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

(A) ∣x∣|x| is continuous everywhere - True.

(B) ∣x∣|x| continuous everywhere, not differentiable at x=0x = 0 - True.

(C) 1x\frac{1}{x} is continuous on its domain R−{0}R - \{0\} - True.

(D) ∣x−1∣+∣x−2∣|x-1| + |x-2| is continuous everywhere, not differentiable at exactly x=1,2x = 1, 2 - True.

(E) cot⁡x\cot x is discontinuous at multiples of π\pi - False.

Hence (A), (B), (C), (D) only.
