Options:
  • A There exists a,b,c such that f is continuous of .
  • B If f is discontinuous at exactly one point, then a+b+c=1
  • C If f is discontinuous at exactly one point, then a+b+c1.
  • D f is discontinuous at atleast two points, for any values of a,b and c.

The correct answer is: If f is discontinuous at exactly one point, then a+b+c1.

Given fx=ex,x<0aex+x-1,0x<1b+sinπx,1x<2e-x-c,x2

i.e. fx=0,x<0aex-1,0x<1b,x=1b-1,1<x<2-c,x2

Here, we know fx is discontinuous at x=1 as bb-1

For fx to be continuous at x=0; a=1

For fx to be continuous at x=2; b+c=1

Hence, a+b+c=2
