1. (C)
Here f(3)  2, f(4)  2 . Hence f is not one-to-one. Also
f(1)  1, f(2)  1, f(3)  2, f(4)  2, f(5)  3, f(6)  3,......

and f(2n) = n  Range of f = N.

i.e. g(x) = sin2x and f(x) = x .
Hence (C) is the correct answer.

By replacing x with (1 – x) in the given expression, we get
f(1 – x) + 2 f(1- 1 + x) = (1 – x)2 + 2

Now f(x) + 2 f(1 – x) – 2(f(1-x) + 2f(x))
