There is a sharp corner at x  0 , so f  x  is not differentiable at x  0 .

Method 2:
Lf '  0   0 & Rf '  0   2 ; so, the function is not differentiable at x  0

For x  0, f  x   2 x (linear function) & when x  0, f  x   0 (constant function)

Hence f  x  is differentiable when x    ,0    0,   .

' h ' is an infinitesimally small positive quantity , which is in accordance with
the Reason statement.
20 (d) Assertion is false. As element 4 has no image under f , so relation f is not a function.
Reason is true. The given function f : 1, 2, 3   x , y , z , p is one – one, as for each

or, we can write f  x   x e x  f '  x   e x  x  1 1

For f  x  to be increasing, we have f '  x   e x  x  1  0  x  1 as e x  0,  x   1

Thus  a , b  R  a , b  ,   a , b      .

So, R is reflexive relation on    . 1

Let  a , b  ,  c , d  be arbitrary elements of    such that  a , b  R  c , d  .

Then,  a , b  R  c , d   ad  bc  bc  ad ; (changing LHS and RHS)
