Question

If \[f\left( x \right) = \left. \begin{array}{l} \sin \,x,\,\,{\rm{when\, }}x\,{\rm{\,is\, rational}}\\ \cos \,x,\,\,{\rm{when\, }}x\,{\rm{\,is\, irrational}} \end{array} \right\}\]
Then the function is :

A. discontinuous at $$x = n\pi + \frac{\pi }{4}$$
B. continuous at $$x = n\pi + \frac{\pi }{4}$$  
C. discontinuous at all $$x$$
D. none of these
Answer :   continuous at $$x = n\pi + \frac{\pi }{4}$$
Solution :
The function can be continuous only at those points for which $$\sin \,x = \cos \,x \Rightarrow x = n\pi + \frac{\pi }{4}$$
