At $x=0$, the function takes $0/0$ form. So, the function is not continuous at $x=0$.

By mentioning $f(x)=1$ at $x=0$, an attempt has been made to make the function continuous. So, let us check whether at $\text{lim }x\rightarrow 0$, the function value equals $1$ ?

Using L'Hospital's rule, it becomes $\frac{1+e^x}{x+e^x}$ and putting $x=0$, it is $2$.

So, even after adding $f(0)=1$, the function couldn't be made continuous.

Hence, the function is not differentiable too.

Answer is d.

The question is f(x) = | x-1 | + | x+1 | is differentiable at x=1 or not . Now , when x<1 , the first part becomes : -(x-1) , i.e 1-x and why should we not change the sig...
