The correct answer is: Neither 1 nor 2
Here, greatest integer function [x] is discontinuous at its integral value of $\mathrm{x}, \cot \mathrm{x}$ and $\operatorname{cosec} \mathrm{x}$ are discontinuous at $0, \pi, 2 \pi$ etc. and $\tan \mathrm{x}$ and sec $\mathrm{x}$ are discontinuous at
$\mathrm{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}, \frac{5 \pi}{2}$ etc. Therefore the greatest integer function and all trigonometric functions are not continuous for $\mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}$ Therefore, neither (1) nor (2) are true.
