\\ f o g=f(g(x))=f(1-|x|) \\ =-1+|1-| x|-2| \\ =-1+|-| x|-1|=-1+|| x|+1| \\ \text { Let } f o g=y \\ \therefore y=-1+|| x|+1|

\\\Rightarrow y=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} -1+x+1, & x \geq 0 \\ -1-x+1, & x<0 \end{array}\right.\\ \Rightarrow y=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x, & x \geq 0 \\ -x, & x<0 \end{array}\right.

\\\text{LHL at }(x=0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}(-x)=0\\ \text{RHL at }(x=0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}(x)=0\\ \text{When } x=0, \text{ then y}=0\\\text{ Hence, } \mathrm{LHL \;at } (x=0)=\mathrm{RHL\;at}\; \;(x=0)=\text{ value of y at } (x=0)\\ \text{Hence y is continuous at }x=0.

Clearly at all other points y continuous. Therefore, the set of all points where fog is discontinuous is an empty set.
