    Let \[f:R\to R\]be a function such that \[\left| f\left( x \right) \right|\le {{x}^{2}},\]for all \[x\in R.\]Then, at x = 0, f is:     JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 19 April 2016)

    A) continuous but not differentiable.

    B) continuous as well as differentiable.

    C) neither continuous nor differentiable.

    D) differentiable but not continuous.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[|f(x)|\le {{x}^{2}},\forall x\in R\] Now, at \[x=0,|f(0)|\le 0\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[f(0)=0\]                 \[\therefore \]\[f'(0)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(h)-f(0)}{h-0}=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(h)}{h}\]?.(1) Now, \[\left| \frac{f(h)}{h} \right|\le |h|\]         \[(\because |f(x)|\le {{x}^{2}})\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[-|h|\le \frac{f(h)}{h}\le |h|\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(h)}{h}\to 0\]?(2) (using sandwich Theorem) \[\therefore \]from (1) and (2), we get f? (0) = 0, i.e. - f (x) is differentiable, at x = 0 Since, differentiability \[\Rightarrow \] Continutity \[\therefore \]\[|f(x)|\le {{x}^{2}},\] for all \[x\in R\] is continuous as well as differentiable at x = 0.
