The correct answer is: \(\{-1,0,1\}\)
Let \(f(x)=\frac{1}{\log |x|}\)
The points of disconinuity of \(f(x)\) are those points where \(f(x)\) is undefined or infinite. It is undefined when \(x=0\) and is infinite when \(\log |x|=0,|x|=1\), i.e. \(x= \pm 1\).
\(\therefore \quad\) Set of points of discontinuity \(=\{-1,0,1\}\).
