Correct answer

B. ff\left(x\right)iscontinuousbutnondifferentiableatis continuous but non differentiable atx = 4

Step-by-step solution

Let us shift the graph of f(x)f\left(x\right) in the direction of the negative x−x -axis by 44 units
& let g(x)=f(x+4)g\left(x\right) = f\left(x + 4\right)
∵g(x)∵ g\left(x\right) at x=0x = 0 will have the same behaviour as of f(x)f\left(x\right) at x=4x = 4
g\left(x\right) = \left\{sinx.tan⁡−1(1x)0\begin{array}{ll}sin x . \tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right) \\ 0\end{array}$\begin{array}{ll}x \ne 0 \\ x = 0\end{array}\right)
Continuity at x=0x = 0,
lim⁡x→0−g(x)=lim⁡x→0−sinx.tan⁡−1(1x)=0×(−π/2)=0\lim_{x \to {0}^{-}}g\left(x\right) = \lim_{x \to {0}^{-}}sin x . \tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right) = 0 \times \left(- \pi / 2\right) = 0
lim⁡x→0+g(x)=lim⁡x→0+sin⁡x.tan⁡−1(1x)=0×(π/2)=0\lim_{x \to {0}^{+}}g\left(x\right) = \lim_{x \to {0}^{+}}\sin x . \tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right) = 0 \times \left(\pi / 2\right) = 0
∴lim⁡x→0+g(x)=g(0)∴g(x)∴ \lim_{x \to {0}^{+}}g\left(x\right) = g\left(0\right) ∴ g\left(x\right) is continuous at x=0x = 0
⇒f(x)⇒ f\left(x\right) is continuous at x=4x = 4
Differentiability at x=0x = 0
g′(0−)=lim⁡h→0+g(0−h)−g(0)−h=lim⁡h→0+sin(−h)tan−1(−1h)−0−h{g}^{'}\left({0}^{-}\right) = \lim_{\text{h} \to {0}^{+}}\dfrac{\text{g}\left(0 - \text{h}\right) - \text{g}\left(0\right)}{- \text{h}} = \lim_{\text{h} \to {0}^{+}}\dfrac{\text{sin}\left(- \text{h}\right){\text{tan}}^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{- 1}{\text{h}}\right) - 0}{- \text{h}}
⇒lim⁡h→0+−(sinhh)tan−1(1h)=−1.(π2)=−π2⇒ \lim_{h \to {0}^{+}} - \left(\dfrac{sinh}{h}\right)ta{n}^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{1}{h}\right) = - 1 . \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) = \dfrac{- \pi}{2}
g′(0+)=lim⁡h→0+g(0+h)−g(0)h=lim⁡h→0+sin h.tan−11h−0h{g}^{'}\left({0}^{+}\right) = \lim_{\text{h} \to {0}^{+}}\dfrac{\text{g}\left(0 + \text{h}\right) - \text{g}\left(0\right)}{\text{h}} = \lim_{\text{h} \to {0}^{+}}\dfrac{\text{sin h} . {\text{tan}}^{- 1}\dfrac{1}{\text{h}} - 0}{\text{h}}
⇒lim⁡h→0+(sinhh)tan−1(1h)=(π2)⇒ \lim_{h \to {0}^{+}}\left(\dfrac{sinh}{h}\right)ta{n}^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{1}{h}\right) = \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)
Clearly, g′(0−)≠g′(0+){g}^{'}\left({0}^{-}\right) \ne {g}^{'}\left({0}^{+}\right)
∴g(x)∴ g\left(x\right) is non-differentiable at x=0x = 0
⇒f(x)⇒ f\left(x\right) is non-differentiable at $x = 4
