The number of points in the interval $(0,2)$ at which $f(x)=|x-0.5|+|x-1|+\tan x$ is not differentiable is

The number of points in the interval $(0,2)$ at which $f(x)=|x-0.5|+|x-1|+\tan x$ is not differentiable is
  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4

Solution

Given, $f(x)=|x-0.5|+|x-1|+\tan x$ Clearly $f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x=0.5,1$ and $\frac{\pi}{2}$ for $x \in(0,2)$. $\therefore$ Number of Non differentiable points of $f(x)$ are 3 . $\therefore$ Hence, option (c) is correct.
