Question:

The function given by $f(x)=|x-1|+|x-2|+|x-3|$ is :

Options:

Continuous and differentiable for all x $\in $ R.

Continuous everywhere but differentiable at x=1, 2 and 3 only

Continuous but not differentiable at x=1, 2 and 3

Differentiable but not continuous at x=1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer:

Continuous but not differentiable at x=1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Continuous but not differentiable at x=1, 2 and 3

$f(x)=|x|$ is not differentiable at $x=0$ but continuous every where

$⇒f(x)=|x-1|+|x-2|+|x-3|$ is continuous every where but not differentiable at $x=1,2,3$
