    every time you post a fragment that no one can run to debug the problem. Please always post a complete small test document. but neither a tabularx nor table enviornment ever breaks over a page. You need an enviornment such as longtable (or ltablex package redefines tabularx to b elongtable but if you put it in a table it can not break over a page) – David Carlisle May 02 '18 at 10:10
  • @DavidCarlisle Sorry for inconvenience. I have updated the code. please help me out. – Iftikhar Ahmad May 02 '18 at 10:21

    @IftikharAhmad The code is still incomplete - you are missing \begin{document} and a curly brace at the end of your code. – epR8GaYuh May 02 '18 at 10:23

    Advice: (1) Read this https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228. (2) Copy and paste the code that you provide here into a new document and try to compile it before posting it here (common mistake, I also run it myself). – Dr. Manuel Kuehner May 02 '18 at 10:26

    your test document does not produce the image shown, it makes the error ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> ...@tempdima \@parboxrestore \multirow – David Carlisle May 02 '18 at 10:27

    You have broken the \end{document line (that I had previously fixed) please fix it again so people can run your example. – David Carlisle May 02 '18 at 10:28

    https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/429331/36296 shows you how to split a table over multiple pages – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz May 02 '18 at 10:33

    I've taken the liberty of editing your code to make it compilable. (Mostly, three extra packages had to be loaded.) – Mico May 02 '18 at 10:37

By design, table and tabularx environments cannot span more than a page. I sugges you load the longtable package and employ a longtable environment.
