Let $$f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{\sin(x-|x|)}{x-|x|}, & x \in (-2, -1) \\ \max(2x, 3[|x|]), & |x| < 1 \\ 1, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$
where $$[t]$$ denotes greatest integer $$\leq t$$. If $$m$$ is the number of points where $$f$$ is not continuous and $$n$$ is the number of points where $$f$$ is not differentiable, the ordered pair $$(m, n)$$ is:
Given,
$$f(x)= \begin{cases} \dfrac{\sin(x-|x|)}{x-|x|}, & x\in(-2,-1)\\ \max(2x,3[|x|]), &|x|<1\\ 1, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$
First simplify the function in different intervals.
For $$x\in(-2,-1),$$
$$|x|=-x$$
Hence,
$$x-|x|=x-(-x)=2x$$
Therefore,
$$f(x)=\frac{\sin2x}{2x},\qquad x\in(-2,-1)$$
Now for $$|x|<1,$$
$$0\le |x|<1$$
Hence,
$$[|x|]=0$$
Therefore,
$$3[|x|]=0$$
So,
$$f(x)=\max(2x,0)$$
Thus,
$$f(x)=\begin{cases}0, & -1<x<0\\ 2x, & 0\le x<1 \end{cases}$$
Now check continuity at possible critical points.
At $$x=-2,$$
$$f(-2)=1$$
Also,
$$f(-2^+)=\lim_{x\to-2^+}\frac{\sin2x}{2x}=\frac{\sin(-4)}{-4}\neq1$$
Hence, $$f$$ is discontinuous at $$x=-2$$.
At $$x=-1,$$
$$f(-1)=1$$
Also,
$$f(-1^-)=\frac{\sin(-2)}{-2},\qquad f(-1^+)=0$$
Since left and right limits are unequal, $$f$$ is discontinuous at $$x=-1$$.
At $$x=0,$$
$$f(0^-)=0,\qquad f(0^+)=0,\qquad f(0)=0$$
Hence, $$f$$ is continuous at $$x=0$$.
At $$x=1,$$
$$f(1^-)=2,\qquad f(1)=1$$
Hence, $$f$$ is discontinuous at $$x=1$$.
Therefore, the number of discontinuity points is
$$m=3$$
Now check differentiability.
At $$x=-2,-1,1,$$ the function is discontinuous, so it is not differentiable.
At $$x=0,$$
$$f(x)=0\quad(-1<x<0)$$
and
$$f(x)=2x\quad(0<x<1)$$
Hence,
$$f'_-(0)=0,\qquad f'_+(0)=2$$
Since LHD and RHD are unequal, $$f$$ is not differentiable at $$x=0$$.
Therefore,
$$n=4$$
Hence, the ordered pair is
$$\boxed{(3,4)}$$.
