Solution
The correct option is Bf(x) has isolated point discontinuity. L.H.L.=limx→1−(x+1)(x−1)(9−x2)(x−1) =limx→1−(x+1)(9−x2)=16 R.H.L.=limx→1+(x+1)(x−1)(9−x2)(x−1) =limx→1+(x+1)(9−x2)=16
And f(1)=9
Here, clearly limit exists but not equal to f(1).
Hence, f(x) has Isolated point discontinuity at x=1.
