Solution

Dear student
Even function: f-x=fx ...1Odd function: f-x=-fx ...2Consider , option ALet fx=sinx+cosxThen f-x=sin-x+cos-x=-sinx+cosxIt is not satisfying either of 1 or 2So, it is neither an even function nor odd.Consider , option BLet fx=cosx+tan2xThen f-x=cos-x+tan2-x=cosx+tan-x×tan-x=cosx+-tanx×-tanx=cosx+tan2x=fxSo, f is an even function.Similarly you can try others.Note:tan-x=-tanxcos-x=cosxsin-x=-sinx
