Solution

The correct option is A continuous everywhere
limx1f(x)=limx1(x4+x2x+2)=1+11+2
=3

limx1+f(x)=limx1+(3x3x2+x)=31+1
=3

f(1)=1+11+2=3
RHL =f(1)=LHL
continuous everywhere
f(x)={4x3+2x1forx19x22x+1forx>1
limx1f(x)=limx1(4x3+2x1)=4+21
=5

limx1+f(x)=limx1+(9x22x+1)=92+1
=8

RHLLHL
f(x)is not differentiable at x=1
