\mathrm{f(x)= \begin{cases}{[x]} & x \in I \\ x-1 & x \in I\end{cases}} (where,[.] denotes the greatest integer function) and \mathrm{g(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} \sin x+\cos x, & x<0 \\ 1, & x \geq 0 \end{array}\right.},  Then for \mathrm{f(g(x))} at x=0

For continuity at \mathrm{x=0, f(g(0))=f(1)=1-1=0}

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & f\left(g\left(0^{+}\right)\right)=f(1)=1-1=0 \\ & \left.f\left(g\left(0^{-}\right)\right)=f\left(\sin \left(0^{-}\right)+\cos \left(0^{-}\right)\right)=f\left(0^{-}\right)+\left(1^{-}\right)\right)=f\left(1^{-}\right)=\left[1^{-}\right]=0 \end{aligned}}

Thus \mathrm{f(x)} is continuous at x=0

For differentiability at x=0

\mathrm{ \begin{aligned} f^{\prime}\left(g\left(0^{+}\right)\right) & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(g(h))-f(g(0))}{h} \\ & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{0-0}{h}=0 \\ f^{\prime}\left(g\left(0^{-}\right)\right) & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left[1^{-}\right]-0}{-h}=0 \end{aligned}}

\mathrm{\therefore f(x) \: is \: \: differentiable \: \: at\: \: x=0.}
