Correct answer

A. 1 only

Step-by-step solution

Test of continuity at x=0Rf(x)=lim⁡x→0+x2=0Lf(x)=lim⁡x→0−(−x)=0x=0\mathrm{R} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} x^2=0\mathrm{L} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}(-x)=0 also, f(0)=(0)2=0f(0)=(0)^2=0 Hence, f(x)f(x) is continuous at x=0x=0 Differentiability f′(x)f^{\prime}(x) for (x>0)=2x⇒f′(0)=0f′(x)(x > 0)=2 x \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(0)=0f^{\prime}(x) for (x<0)=−1⇒f′(0)=−1(x < 0)=-1 \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(0)=-1 Hence, f(x)f(x) is not differentiable at x=0x=0.
