Detailed Solution

For continuity at x = 1

limx1+f(x)=limx1+(x2sgn[x]+{x})=1+0=1

limx1f(x)=limx1(x2sgn[x]+{x})=1sgn(0)+1=1

Also, f(1) = 1 L.H.L = R.H.L = f(1). 

Now for differentiability, f(1+)=limh0f(1+h)f(1)h

=limh0(1+h)2sgn[1+h]+{1+h}1h

=limh0(1+h)2+h1h=limh0h2+3hhand

f(1)=limh0(1h)2sgn[1h]+{1h}1-h

=limh0(1h)2+1h1h=limh0h23hh=3

f(1+)=f(1)

Hence, f(x) is differentiable at x =1. Now at x =2,

limx2f(x)=limx2(x2sgn[x]+{x})=4×1+1=5

limx2+f(x)=limx2+(sinx+|x3|)=sin2+1

Hence LHLRHL

Hence, f(x) is discontinuous at x =2 and then f(x) is also non differentiable at x = 2.
