MCQ
Let $f(x) = |x| + |x - 1|,$ then :
  • $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 0,$ as well as at $x = 1$
  • B
    $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 0,$ but not at $x = 1$
  • C
    $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 0,$ but not at $x = 0$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
$f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 0,$ as well as at $x = 1$
Since modulus function is everywhere continuous $|x|$ and $|x - 1|$ are also everywhere continuous.
Also,
It is known that if $f$ and $g$ are continuous functions, then $f + g$ will also be continuous.
Thus, ​$|x| + |x - 1|$ is everywhere continuous.
Hence, $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 0$ and $x = 1, x = 0$ and $x = 1.$
