Partial derivatives fail to exist for this classic non-differentiable example

Let ff be a function from R2\mathbb{R}^2 to R\mathbb{R} given by f(x,y)=xf(x,y)=x if x=yx=y, f(x,y)=1f(x,y)=1 if x≠yx\neq y. Then, which of the following statements is true? S1S_1: Both partial derivatives of ff at (0,0)(0,0) exist and are equal. S2S_2: ff is differentiable at (0,0)(0,0).
