Answer
Correct option: B.
Continuous on [-1, 1] and differentiable on $(-1,0)\cup(0,1)$
We have,
$\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{1-\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}$
Here, function will be defined for those values of x for which
$1-\text{x}^2\geq0$
$\Rightarrow1\geq\text{x}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2\leq1$
$\Rightarrow|\text{x}\leq1|$
$\Rightarrow-1\leq\text{x}\leq1$
Therefore, function is continuous in -1, 1
Now, we need to check the differentiability of $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{1-\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}$ in the interval -1, 1
Now,
We will check the differentiable at x = 0
LHL at x = 0
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\text{f(x)}-\text{f}(0)}{\text{x}-0}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\sqrt{1-\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}-0}{\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\sqrt{1-\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}}{\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{1-\sqrt{1-(0-\text{h})^2}}}{0-\text{h}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{1-\sqrt{1-\text{h}^2}}}{-\text{h}}$
$=-\infty$
RHL at x = 0
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^{+}}\frac{\text{f(x)}-\text{f}(0)}{\text{x}-0}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^{+}}\frac{\sqrt{1-\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}-0}{\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{1-\sqrt{1-(0+\text{h})^2}}}{0+\text{h}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{1-\sqrt{1-\text{h}^2}}}{\text{h}}$
$=\infty$
So, the function is not differentiable at x = 0.

So, the function is not differentiable at x = 0.
