JEE Main 2019Continuity and Differentiability Question with Solution

JEE Main 2019 (08 Apr Shift 2)

Question

Let f:-1,3R  be defined as
fx=x+x,x+x,x+x,-1x<11x<22x3,
Where t denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to t. Then, f is discontinuous at:

Choose an option

Correct answer
DOnly three points

Step-by-step explanation

fx=x+x;-1x<1x+x;1x<2x+x;2x3

=-x-1;-1x<0x+0;0x<12x;1x<2x+2;2x<36;x=3           

At x=0, 1, 2, 3 f changes its definition.

 At x=0 LHL=-1, RHL=0f  is discontinuous at

x=0

x=1 LHL=1, RHL=2f is discontinuous at x=1

x=2 LHL=RHL=f2=4f is continuous at x=2

x=3 LHL=5, f3=6f is discontinuous at x=1

Points of discontinuity are 0, 1, 3.
