Q25 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2016 (Paper 2) · Mathematics

Let a, b∈R and f : R→R be defined by fx=acos⁡x3-x+bxsin⁡x3+x . Then f is -

  • Correct answer
    A
    Differentiable at x=0 if a=0 and b=1
  • Correct answer
    B
    Differentiable at x=1 if a=1 and b=0
  • C
    NOT differentiable at x=0 if a=1 and b=0
  • D
    NOT differentiable at x=1 if a=1 and b=1

Solution

If x3-x ≥0    ⇒ cos⁡x3-x=cos⁡x3-x
x3-x<0   ⇒  cos⁡x3-x=cos⁡x3-x
Similarly bxsin⁡x3+x=bxsin⁡x3+x for all x∈R
∴ fx=acos⁡x3-x+bxsin⁡x3+x
Which is composition and sum of differentiable functions therefore always continuous and differentiable.

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B'.
