Solution

 f(x)={x2|cosπx|,x00,x=0,xR,

At x = 0

 LHD=Limh0f(0h)f(0)h=Limh0h2|cosπh|h=0

 RHD=Limh0f(0+h)f(0)h=Limh0h2|cosπh|h=0

 f(x)={x2cosπx,2h<x<2x2cosπx,2<x<2+h

 f'(x)={2xcosπxπsinπx,2h<x<22xcosπx+πsinπx,2<x<2+h

LHD = – π ; RHD = π

  f(x) is differentiable at x = 0 but not derivable at x = 2
