JEE Advanced 2007 · Continuity and Differentiability

Let f(x)=2+cos⁡xf(x) = 2 + \cos x for all real xx. \ STATEMENT I : For each real tt, there exists a point cc in [t,t+π][t, t + \pi] such that f′(c)=0f'(c) = 0 because \ STATEMENT II : f(t)=f(t+2π)f(t) = f(t + 2\pi) for each real tt.

Answer: B. Statement I is True, Statement II is True; Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I
