Continuity versus partials off axes

Let f:R∖{0}→Rf:\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}\to\mathbb{R} and g:R∖{0}→Rg:\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}\to\mathbb{R} be two bounded and differentiable functions. Define F:R2→RF:\mathbb{R}^{2}\to\mathbb{R} by F(x,y)={xf(y)+y2g(x),xy≠0,0,xy=0.F(x,y)=\begin{cases}xf(y)+y^{2}g(x),&xy\neq 0,\\0,&xy=0.\end{cases} Consider the following statements. PP: FF is continuous at (0,0)(0,0). QQ: Both the partial derivatives ∂F∂x\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial x} and ∂F∂y\dfrac{\partial F}{\partial y} exist at (1,0)(1,0). Then
