Solution

The correct options are
C f is derivable at x=0
D f is derivable at x=0 and f is not continuous at x=0
For x0, we have
f(x)=2xsin1x+x2cos(1x)(1x2)
=2xsin1xcos1x
and for x0, we have
f(x)f(0)x0=x2sin(1/x)x=xsin1xf(0)=0
Thus f is derivable at x=0. Also,
limx0f(x)=limx0(2xsin1xcos1x)
Let us write
cos1x=2xsin1x(2xsin1xcos1x)
Now limx0(2xsin(1/x))=0, so that if limx0f(x) were to exist, then limx0cos(1/x) would also exist, which is not true. Hence f is not continuous at x=0.
