Please use MathJax to type out the equation. Next, write the whole question, and your own thoughts. What have you tried? Where did you face difficulty? This way, people are more likely to help you.

There is no such density function since $f$ does not integrate to $1$.

Check my edit. Defined like this and under the assumption that $f_X(x)=0$ if $xnotin(0,1)$ this function is not a PDF because integration does not result in $1$.

@MeganathChidara If $f_X$ is indeed a PDF (and the function in your question is not) then $mathbb Eg(X)=int g(x)f_X(x)dx$. You can apply that on functions $g$ prescribed by $xmapsto x$ and $xmapsto x^2$ in order to find $mathbb EX$ and $mathbb EX^2$. Then you can find $mathsf{Var}(X)$ as $mathbb EX^2-(mathbb EX)^2$ and standard deviation as $sqrt{text{Var}(X)}$
