Detailed Solution

f(x)={x1,xis rationalx2x2,xis irrational

is continuous when x1=x2x2 or x22x1=0 or x=2±82
Hence, f(x) is continuous at two pointsa=2.
f(x)=sgn(x33x+1) is discontinuous
when x33x+1=0
Now, y=x33x+1 has three distinct roots as
dydx=3x23=0x±1
Also f(1)=13=1 and f(1)=1+3+1=3.

Hence, the graph of y=x33x+1 is
Hence, f(x)=sgn(x33x+1) is discontinuous at three points b=3
f(x)=(logx)|x24x+3|+2(x2)1/3

=(logx)|x1||x3|+2(x2)1/3
Which is non-differentiable at x = 3and x = 2 as at x = 3, f(x) has a sharp turn and at x = 2, f(x) have a vertical tangent. At x = 1, f(x) is differentiable.
So c=2 and d=1
