The correct answer is:
2
\(\begin{aligned}
& \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{((a-n) n x-\tan x) \sin n x}{x^2}=0, n \neq 0 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{(a-n) n x}{x}-\frac{\tan x}{x}\right) \frac{\sin (n x)}{x}=0 \\
& \quad\left[\because \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin n x}{n x}=n\right] \\
& \Rightarrow \quad n\left(a n-n^2-1\right)=0 \Rightarrow \quad a=n+\frac{1}{n}, n \neq 0 \\
& \because \quad \frac{n+\frac{1}{n}}{2} \geq \sqrt{n \frac{1}{n}} \text { (by AM } \geq \text { GM) } \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{a}{2} \geq 1 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad a \geq 2
\end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore\) Minimum possible positive value of \(a\) is 2. Hence, option (c) is correct.
