Consider the following three statements for the function $\displaystyle f:(0, \infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ defined by $\displaystyle f(x)=\left|\log _{\mathrm{e}} x\right|-|x-1|$ :
(I)
$\displaystyle f$ is differentiable at all $\displaystyle x>0$.
(II)
$\displaystyle f$ is increasing in $\displaystyle ( 0,1 )$.
(III)
$\displaystyle f$ is decreasing in $\displaystyle (1, \infty)$.
Then.
