Let $f(x)=15-|x-10| ; x \in R$. Then, the set of all values of $x$, at which the function $g(x)=f(f(x))$ is not differentiable, is
  1. $\{10\}$
  2. $\{10,15\}$
  3. $\{5,10,15,20\}$
  4. $\{5,10,15\}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=15-|x-10| \\ & \Rightarrow f(f(x))=f(15-|x-10|) \\ & =15-|15-| x-10|-10| \\ & =15-|5-| x-10||\end{aligned}$ graph has 3 corner points $x=5, x=10$ and $x=15$ So, it is not differentiable at $x \in\{5,10,15\}$
