Correct Answer :

Option C

(A)- (II), (B)- (I), (C)- (III), (D)- (IV)

Solution :

The correct option is: (A)- (II), (B)- (I), (C)- (III), (D)- (IV)

Let us analyze each function in List-I one by one and match it with the correct property in List-II based on the visual details and formulas provided in the lists:

(A) Analysis of f(x)=|x-1|+|x-2|:
The absolute value function |x| is continuous everywhere on the real number line.
Since the sum of two continuous functions is also continuous, the function f(x)=|x-1|+|x-2| is continuous everywhere.
Thus, (A) matches with (II).

(B) Analysis of g(x)=x-|x|:
We can rewrite this piecewise function as:
For x0:
g(x)=x-x=0
For x<0:
g(x)=x-(-x)=2x
Now let us check the differentiability at x=0:
Right-hand derivative (RHD) at x=0:
limh0+g(0+h)-g(0)h=limh0+0-0h=0
Left-hand derivative (LHD) at x=0:
limh0-g(0+h)-g(0)h=limh0-2h-0h=2
Since RHDLHD at x=0, the function is not differentiable at x=0. For all other real values of x, the function is linear and therefore differentiable.
Thus, g(x) is differentiable everywhere except at x=0, which means (B) matches with (I).

(C) Analysis of h(x)=x-[x]:
Here [x] represents the greatest integer function. The function h(x)=x-[x] is the fractional part function, denoted by {x}.
This function has a discontinuity at every integer. Let us verify its continuity at x=1:
limx1-(x-[x])=1-0=1
limx1+(x-[x])=1-1=0
Since the left-hand limit and right-hand limit at x=1 are not equal, h(x) is discontinuous at x=1.
Any function that is discontinuous at a point is also non-differentiable at that point. Thus, h(x) is not differentiable at x=1.
Thus, (C) matches with (III).

(D) Analysis of p(x)=x|x|:
We can rewrite this function as:
For x0:
p(x)=x2
For x<0:
p(x)=-x2
In a neighborhood around x=1 (where x>0), the function is represented by p(x)=x2.
Since x2 is a polynomial function, it is differentiable everywhere on its domain, and specifically at x=1 where its derivative is p(1)=2(1)=2.
Thus, p(x) is differentiable at x=1, which means (D) matches with (IV).

Conclusion:
Combining the matches:
• (A) matches with (II)
• (B) matches with (I)
• (C) matches with (III)
• (D) matches with (IV)
