Consider the following statements:I. The derivative, where the function attains maxima or minima, is zero.II. If a function is differentiable at a point, then it must be continuous at that point.Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?

  1. A
    Only I
  2. B
    Only II
  3. C
    Both I and II
  4. D
    Neither I nor II

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Statement I: According to Fermat's Theorem, if a function has a local extremum (maxima or minima) at a point and the derivative exists there, then the derivative must be zero (). Note: This assumes the point is not a boundary point and the function is differentiable there.Statement II: It is a fundamental theorem in calculus that differentiability implies continuity. If exists, then , which proves continuity.Both statements are correct.
