Let $[x]$ denote the greatest integer function and $f(x) = \begin{cases} 4x^2 + [2x]x, & \text{if } x \in [-\frac{1}{2}, 0) \\ ax^2 - bx, & \text{if } x \in [0, \frac{1}{2}) \end{cases}$. Then:

  • A
    $f(x)$ is continuous in $(-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$ iff $a = 4$ and $b = 0$.
  • B
    $f(x)$ is continuous and differentiable in $(-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$ iff $a = 4, b = 1$.
  • C
    $f(x)$ is continuous and differentiable in $(-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}) \forall a \in R \& b = 1$.
  • D
    $f(x)$ is not differentiable in $(-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$ for any value of $a$ and $b$.
