The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Let $y = \sec\, x?$ Now ,$x^\circ = \frac{\pi}{180} . x \:\:\: \therefore \: y =\sec \frac{\pi}{180} x$ Now, $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\pi}{180} \sec \frac{x \pi}{180} \tan \frac{\pi}{180} x$ $\Rightarrow \:\: \frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{\pi}{180} \: \sec \, x^\circ . \tan \, x^\circ$

Continuity & Differentiability

Definition of Differentiability

f(x) is said to be differentiable at the point x = a, if the derivative f ‘(a) be at every point in its domain. It is given by

Differentiability

Definition of Continuity

Mathematically, a function is said to be continuous at a point x = a,  if

It is implicit that if the left-hand limit (L.H.L), right-hand limit (R.H.L), and the value of the function at x=a exist and these parameters are equal to each other, then the function f is said to be continuous at x=a.

Continuity

If the function is unspecified or does not exist, then we say that the function is discontinuous.
