The function $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}(x+1)^{2-\left(\frac{1}{|x|}+\frac{1}{x}\right)}, x \neq 0 \text { is } \\ 0 & , x=0\end{array}\right.$, (A) discontinuous at only one point (B) discontinuous exactly at two points (C) continuous everywhere (D) None of these
The function $f(x)=\frac{x \sin x}{\left(x^{2}+2\right)}$ is (a) continuous for all $x$ (b) discontinuous for all $x$ (c) constant function (d) discontinuous only at $\mathrm{x}=\pm 2$
If $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}x^{2} \text { if } x \text { is rational } \\ -x^{2} \text { if } x \text { isirrational }\end{array}\right.$ then $f$ is (a) continuous at $x=0$ (b) discontinuous at $x=1 / 2$ (c) discontinuous at $x=0$ (d) continuous at $x=1 / 2$
