The problem asks us to determine whether two statements about differentiability and continuity are true or false. Statement (i): If $f$ is differentiable at $c$, then $f$ is both left and right continuous at $c$. Statement (ii): If $f$ is not continuous at $c$, then $f$ is not differentiable at $c$.

1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to determine whether two statements about differentiability and continuity are true or false.
Statement (i): If ff is differentiable at cc, then ff is both left and right continuous at cc.
Statement (ii): If ff is not continuous at cc, then ff is not differentiable at cc.

2. Solution Steps

(i) Statement: If ff is differentiable at cc, then ff is both left and right continuous at cc.
This statement is TRUE.
If a function ff is differentiable at cc, then the limit
f(c)=limxcf(x)f(c)xcf'(c) = \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x) - f(c)}{x - c}
exists.
If the limit exists, then the limit from the left and the limit from the right must both exist and be equal. Thus,
limxcf(x)f(c)xc=limxc+f(x)f(c)xc=limxcf(x)f(c)xc \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x) - f(c)}{x - c} = \lim_{x \to c^+} \frac{f(x) - f(c)}{x - c} = \lim_{x \to c^-} \frac{f(x) - f(c)}{x - c}
In order for the limit
limxcf(x)f(c)xc \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x) - f(c)}{x - c}
to exist, it is necessary for
limxcf(x)=f(c). \lim_{x \to c} f(x) = f(c).
This implies that ff is continuous at cc. Since cc is in the interior of II, we have left and right continuity.
(ii) Statement: If ff is not continuous at cc, then ff is not differentiable at cc.
This statement is TRUE.
This is the contrapositive of the statement: If ff is differentiable at cc, then ff is continuous at cc.
The contrapositive of a true statement is also true. We have already shown that if a function ff is differentiable at cc, then it is continuous at cc.

3. Final Answer

(i) TRUE
(ii) TRUE
