The function given by f (x) = tan x is discontinuous on the set

(A) {nπ:n ϵ z}       

(B) {2nπ:n ϵ z}

(C) {(2n + 1) π/2 : n ϵ z }        

(D) {nπ/2 " : " n ϵ z}

Question 4 The function given by f (x) = tan x is discontinuous on the set (A) {π‘›πœ‹:𝑛 πœ– 𝒛} (B) {2π‘›πœ‹:𝑛 πœ– 𝒛} (C) {(2n + 1) πœ‹/2 : 𝑛 πœ– 𝒛} (D) {π‘›πœ‹/2 " : " 𝑛 πœ– 𝒛} 𝑓(π‘₯) = tan π‘₯ 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝐬𝐒𝐧⁑𝒙/πœπ¨π¬β‘π’™ Here, 𝑓(π‘₯) is defined for all real number except 𝒄𝒐𝒔 𝒙 = 0 i.e. for all π‘₯ except 𝒙 = (πŸπ’+𝟏) 𝝅/𝟐 Thus, tan⁑π‘₯ is discontinuous on the set 𝒙={(πŸπ’+𝟏) 𝝅/𝟐;𝒏 𝝐 𝒛} So, the correct answer is (C)
