Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct Answer :
(A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
Solution :
Correct Answer:
The correct option is (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III).
Explanation:
To determine the points of non-differentiability, we analyze the absolute value functions represented in List-I. An absolute value function of the form is typically continuous everywhere, but it is not differentiable at the points where the inner function (resulting in sharp corners on the graph of the function).
Analysis of each function:
(A) :
The expression inside the absolute value is .
Setting , we find that the function has a sharp corner at .
Thus, is not differentiable at x = 0 only.
Hence, (A) matches with (II).
(B) :
The expression inside the absolute value is .
Setting gives:
Thus, the function is not differentiable at x = -2 only.
Hence, (B) matches with (I).
(C) :
The expression inside the absolute value is .
Setting gives:
Thus, the function has sharp corners and is not differentiable at x = 2, -2 only.
Hence, (C) matches with (IV).
(D) :
The expression inside the absolute value is .
Setting gives:
Thus, the function is not differentiable at x = 2 only.
Hence, (D) matches with (III).
Combining all the matches:
(A) → (II), (B) → (I), (C) → (IV), (D) → (III)
