MCQ
Consider the function $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}x^2, & x \geq 1 \\ x+1, & x<1\end{array}\right.$
Assertion (A) : $f$ is not derivable at $x=1$ as $\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x) \neq \lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x)$.
Reason (R) : If a function $f$ is derivable at a point ' $a$ ', then it is continuous at ' $a$ '.
  • ✓
    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • B
    Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  • C
    (A) is true but (R) is false.
  • D
    (A) is false but (R) is true.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(a) : Reason is a standard result.
Also $\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}(x+1)=2$
and $\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} x^2=1$
$
\Rightarrow \quad \lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x) \neq \lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x)
$
$\Rightarrow f$ is not continuous at $x=1$
$\Rightarrow f$ is not derivable at $x=1$ (From Reason)
