MCQ
If both $f(x)\, \& \,g(x) $ are differentiable functions at  $x = x_0$, then the function defined as, $h(x) =$ Maximum $ \{f(x), g(x)\} :$
  • A
    is always differentiable at $x = x_0$
  • B
    is never differentiable at $x = x_0$
  • is differentiable at $x = x_0$ provided $f(x_0) \ne g(x_0)$
  • D
    cannot be differentiable at $x = x_0$ if $f(x_0) = g(x_0) .$

Answer

Correct option: C.
is differentiable at $x = x_0$ provided $f(x_0) \ne g(x_0)$
c
Consider the graph of $h(x) = max(x, x^2)$ at $x = 0$ and $x = 1$
