Let \([x]\) denote the greatest integer less than or equal to \(x\). Then the number of points where the function \(y=[x]+|1-x|,-1 \leq x \leq 3\) is not differentiable, is
  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4

Solution

The given function \(y=[x]+|1-x|\) have point of discontinuity at \(x=0,1,2\) and 3 for \(-1 \leq x \leq 3\). So function \(y=[x]+\|-x \mid\) is not differentiable at 4 points. Hence, option (4) is correct.
