Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

If $$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {\int\limits_0^x {\left( {5 + \left| {1 - t} \right|} \right)dt,} } & {x > 2} \cr {5x + 1,} & {x \le 2} \cr } } \right.$$, then

  1. A f(x) is not continuous at x = 2
  2. B f(x) is everywhere differentiable
  3. C f(x) is continuous but not differentiable at x = 2 Correct answer
  4. D f(x) is not differentiable at x = 1

Solution

$f(x) = \int\limits_0^1 {(5 + (1 - t))dt + \int\limits_1^x {(5 + (t - 1))dt} }$<br><br>$= \left. {6 - {1 \over 2} + \left( {4t + {{{t^2}} \over 2}} \right)} \right|_1^x$<br><br>$= {{11} \over 2} + 4x + {{{x^2}} \over 2} - 4 - {1 \over 2}$<br><br>$= {{{x^2}} \over 2} + 4x - 1$<br><br>$f({2^ + }) = 2 + 8 + 1 = 11$<br><br>$f(2) = f({2^ - }) = 5 \times 2 + 1 = 11$<br><br>$\Rightarrow$ continuous at x = 2<br><br>Clearly differentiable at x = 1<br><br>Lf' (2) = 5<br><br>Rf' (2) = 6<br><br>$\Rightarrow$ Not differentiable at x = 2
