The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements, we will evaluate each one step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement I **Statement I:** The derivative where the function attains maxima or minima is zero. 1. **Understanding Maxima and Minima:** - A function \( f(x) \) attains a maximum or minimum at a point \( x = c \) if the slope of the tangent line at that point is zero. This is because at these points, the function does not increase or decrease, hence the derivative \( f'(c) = 0 \). 2. **Conclusion for Statement I:** - Therefore, Statement I is **correct** because the derivative at points of maxima or minima is indeed zero. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement II **Statement II:** If a function is differentiable at a point, then it must be continuous at that point. 1. **Understanding Differentiability and Continuity:** - A function \( f(x) \) is said to be differentiable at a point \( x = c \) if the derivative \( f'(c) \) exists. For the derivative to exist, the function must be continuous at that point. - If a function is not continuous at \( x = c \), it cannot have a well-defined tangent (slope), and thus the derivative cannot exist. 2. **Conclusion for Statement II:** - Therefore, Statement II is also **correct** because differentiability implies continuity. ### Final Conclusion Both statements I and II are correct. ### Summary of the Solution: - Statement I is correct: The derivative at maxima or minima is zero. - Statement II is correct: If a function is differentiable at a point, it must be continuous at that point.
