52) ƒ(x) is discontinuous at all integers except at x = 0

53)

(A) f(x) = x + [x] =

f(x) is injective but not surjective

(B) f : R → (0, ∞)

Non injective surjective

(C) f : (0, ∞) → R
f(x) = x3 – 2x2 + 2x + logx

⇒ f'(x) > 0
∴ Always +ve
∴ f(x) is increasing ⇒ one one
Also Range of f(x) is R
∴ f(x) is one one onto
(D) f : [–3, 0] → [cos3, 1]
f(x) = cosx
 one one onto

54) (A)

......(1)
then

then
n = 2 is only possible value.

(B)

given

then
(C)

Number of points of non derivability

= 2(5|n|-1) + 1 = 10 |n|-1 = 19

(D) Adding equation (1) and (2)

....(3)
 Also ....(4)
From equation (3) and (4) n = 1
