A man leaves his home early in the morning to have a walk. He arrives at a junction of roads A and B as shown in figure. He takes the following steps in later journies : (i) 1 km in North direction. (ii) Changes direction and moves in North-East direction for 2 sqrt(2) km. (iii) Changes direction and moves Southwards for distance of 2 km. (iv) Finally he changes the direction and moves in South-East direction to reach road A again. Now if roads A and B are taken as X-asix and Y-axis, then visible point representing the graph of y = f(x). Then the value of x at which function f(x) is discontionous
