Detailed Solution

 f(x)=sgn((x2ax+1)(bx22bx+1))
 P(x)=x2ax+1,Q(x)=bx22bx+1
P(x)Q(x)=0 at exactly one value of x
Case (i) Δ1=0 and  Δ2=0
a2=4 and  4b24b<0  b(0,1)
a=2,2 no integral value of  b
Case (ii) Δ1<0 and  Δ2=0
a24<0    4b24b=0   b=0, 1
a(2,2)  (1,1)(0,1)(1,1)  are possible
Case (ii) Δ1=0 and  Δ2=0
 a24=0    4b24b=0
a=2,2   b=0,1 
b=0     (2,0)(2,0)
b=1   (2,1)(2,1) (Not possible)
Total number of ordered pairs (a, b) = 3 + 3 = 6
