Q.

Let .

Consider the following two statements :

(I) is discontinuous at .

(II) is continuous at .

Then,

  1. A

    Neither (I) nor (II) is True

  2. B

    Both (I) and (II) are True

  3. C

    Only (II) is True

  4. D

    Only (I) is True

Solution

As , when and when . So is defined piecewise around and .

At :

For (so , the terms vanish): .

For (so , dividing numerator and denominator by ): .

At : substitute directly . Thus is continuous at , so (I) is false.

At :

For (so ): .

For (so ): .

The two side limits differ, so is discontinuous at , making (II) false as well.

Neither (I) nor (II) is True.
