The correct answer is: \( 11 \)
Given that, $3 \tan ^{-1} x+\cot ^{-1} x=\pi$
$\Rightarrow 2 \tan ^{-1} x+\left(\tan ^{-1} x+\cot ^{-1} x\right)=\Pi$
Since, $\tan ^{-1} x+\cot ^{-1} x=\frac{\Pi}{2} .$ Then
$\Rightarrow 2 \tan ^{-1} x+\frac{\Pi}{2}=\pi$
$\Rightarrow 2 \tan ^{-1} x=\frac{\Pi}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \tan ^{-1} x=\frac{\Pi}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x=\tan \frac{\Pi}{4}=1$
