Class 12 Mathematics — Chapter 5: Continuity and Differentiability

66 practice questions · 22 Easy · 22 Medium · 22 Hard

Practise Class 12 Mathematics Chapter 5, "Continuity and Differentiability", with 66 NCERT-aligned multiple-choice questions. The set is split into 22 Easy, 22 Medium and 22 Hard questions, so you can warm up on the fundamentals and then push into the exam-level problems that separate top scorers in CBSE Board exams, JEE Main and JEE Advanced.

"Continuity and Differentiability" is one of the chapters where problem-solving speed, formula recall and step-by-step reasoning really pays off. Each MCQ on this chapter is timed and uses exam-grade marking (+2 correct, −1 wrong, 0 skipped), training the same accuracy-under-pressure that real papers demand. Every question carries a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a quick lesson rather than a dead end — the fastest way to close gaps before a test.

Use this chapter as targeted revision: attempt the Easy set first to confirm your basics on Continuity and Differentiability, then move to Medium and Hard to test application and problem-solving. Your accuracy, streaks and XP save automatically, and the chapter feeds into your overall Class 12 Mathematics mastery score. A few sample questions are shown below; sign in free to practise all 66.

Key concepts: Continuity and Differentiability (Class 12 Mathematics)

This chapter extends differentiation to continuity, the chain rule, implicit, logarithmic and parametric differentiation, and states Rolle's and the Mean Value Theorems.

Continuity
f is continuous at x = a if lim(x→a) f(x) = f(a). A function is continuous on an interval if continuous at every point.
Differentiability
Differentiability at a point implies continuity there, but continuity does not imply differentiability (e.g. |x| at 0).
Chain rule
If y = f(u) and u = g(x), then dy/dx = (dy/du)(du/dx).
Special differentiation
Implicit (differentiate both sides), logarithmic (take log first for products/powers) and parametric (dy/dx = (dy/dt)/(dx/dt)).
Mean Value Theorems
Rolle's theorem and Lagrange's MVT relate the derivative to the average rate of change on a closed interval.

Key formulas — Continuity and Differentiability

Chain rule
dy/dx = (dy/du)·(du/dx)
Parametric
dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt)
Lagrange MVT
f'(c) = [f(b) − f(a)] / (b − a)

💡 Exam tips for Continuity and Differentiability

  • Use logarithmic differentiation for functions of the form [f(x)]^{g(x)}.
  • Remember: differentiable ⇒ continuous, but the converse is false.

Sample questions

Q1Easy

All polynomials are continuous on:

A.R (all real numbers)✓ correct
B.[0, 1] only
C.Integers only
D.Cannot say
Why

Polynomials are continuous everywhere.

Q2Medium

d/dx [f(g(x))] =

A.f'(g(x)) · g'(x)✓ correct
B.f'(x) · g'(x)
C.f(g(x))
D.g(f(x))
Why

Chain rule.

Q3Hard

Mean Value Theorem: there exists c in (a,b) such that:

A.f'(c) = (f(b) − f(a))/(b − a)✓ correct
B.f(c) = 0
C.f(c) = average
D.f''(c) = 0
Why

Connects average and instantaneous rates.
