The correct answer is: 0<p1

We have,

fx=xpsin1x,x00,          x=0

For fx to be continuous at x=0

limx0fx=f0

limx0xpsin1x=0

limx0xp×limx0sin1x=0

limx0xp×value between -1 to 1=0

p>0

Now,

RHD at RHD at x=0=limh0hpsin1h-0h=limh0hp-1sin1h

LHD at x=0=limh0-hpsin-1h-0-h=limh0-1p-hp-1sin1h

Since, fx is not differentiable at x=0, therefore

p1

Hence, 0<p1.
