  2. B \(\left\{x=(2 n+1) \frac{\pi}{2} ; n \in Z\right\}\)
  3. C \(\left\{x=\frac{n \pi}{2} ; n \in Z\right\}\)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\{x=n \pi ; n \in Z\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(f(x)=\cot x\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad f(x)=\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}\)
We know that \(\sin x=0\), if \(f(x)\) is discontinuous
\(\therefore\) If \(\sin x=0\)
\(\therefore x=n \pi, n \in n \pi\)
So, the given function \(f(x)\) is discontinuous on the set \(\{x=n \pi, n \in Z\}\)
