Solution

The correct option is A continuous and differentiable at x=π2
We consider x=0,π/2.
At x=0,we have f(0)=1+sin0=1

f(00)=limh01=1
and f(0+0)=limh0[1+sin(0+h)]=1.

Since f(0+0)=f(00)=f(0), the function is continuous at x=0.

Now Lf(0)=limh011h=0
and Rf(0)=limh01+sin(0+h)1h=limh0sinhh=1.

Since Lf(0)Rf(0), the function is non-differentiable at x=0.
At x=π/2, we have f(π/2)=2+(π/2π/2)2=2, f(π/20)=limh0{1+sin(π/2h)}=limh0(1+cosh)=2,f(π2+0)=limh0{2+(π2+hπ2)2}=2,

Since f(π/2+0)=f(π/20)=f(π/2), the function is continuous at x=π/2.

Now Lfπ2=limh01+sin(π/2h)2h =limh01coshh[form00]=limh0sinh1=0

And Rfπ2=limh02+(π/2+hπ/2)22h=limh0h=0.

Since Rf(π/2)=Lf(π/2), the function is differentiable at x=π/2.
