Answer

B. Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false

Explanation

Given that $$f\left( x \right) = x\left| x \right|\,\,$$ and $$\,\,g\left( x \right) = \sin x$$ So that go $$f\left( x \right) = g\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right)$$ $$ = g\left( {x\left| x \right|} \right) = \sin x\left| x \right|$$ $$ = \left\{ {\begin{matrix} {\sin \left( { - {x^2}} \right),} & {if\,\,\,x < 0} \\ {\sin \left( {{x^2}} \right),} & {if\,\,\,x \ge 0} \\ \end{matrix} } \right.$$ $$ = \left\{ {\begin{matrix} { - \sin \,{x^2},} & {if\,\,\,x < 0} \\ {\sin \,\,{x^2},} & {if\,\,\,x \ge 0} \\ \end{matrix} } \right.$$ $$\therefore$$ $$\left( {go\,f} \right)'\,\,\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{matrix} { - 2x\,\,\cos \,{x^2},\,\,\,\,if\,\,\,\,x < 0} \\ {2x\,\cos \,{x^2},\,\,\,if\,\,\,\,x \ge 0} \\ \end{matrix} } \right.$$ Here we observe $$L\left( {gof} \right)'\left( 0 \right) = 0 = R\left( {gof} \right)'\left( 0 \right)$$ $$ \Rightarrow $$ go $$f$$ is differentiable at $$x=0$$ and $$\left( {go\,f} \right)'$$ is continuous at $$x=0$$ Now $$\left( {go\,f} \right)''\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{matrix} { - 2\cos {x^2} + 4{x^2}\sin {x^2},x < 0} \\ {2\cos {x^2} - 4{x^2}\sin {x^2},x \ge 0} \\ \end{matrix} } \right.$$ Here $$L\left( {gof} \right)''\left( 0 \right) = - 2$$ and $$R\left( {go\,f} \right)''\left( 0 \right) = 2$$ As $$L{\left( {go\,f} \right)^{''}}\left( 0 \right) \ne R\left( {go\,f} \right)''\,\,\left( 0 \right)$$ $$ \Rightarrow go\,f\left( x \right)$$ is not twice differentiable at $$x=0.$$ $$\therefore$$ Statement - $$1$$ is true but statement $$-2$$ is false.
