Q20 / 93 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Continuity and Differentiability

If fx=max⁡xn, sin⁡πx, n∈N has maximum points of non-differentiability for x∈(0, 4), then n cannot be

  • A
    4
  • Correct answer
    B
    2
  • C
    5
  • D
    6

Solution

fx=max⁡xn, sin⁡πx
Figure
Thus, for the maximum points of non-differentiability, graphs of y=xn and y=sin⁡πx must intersect at maximum number of points which occurs when n>3.5

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
