Let y  x2 1  x   y 1

 f 1 (y)   y  1  f 1 ( x )   x  1

 f is into which shows that f is one-one into.

(a) One-one but not onto (b) Onto but not one-one
(c) Both one-one and onto (d) Neither one-one nor onto
Sol. (b)
We have f (x )  (x  1)(x  2)(x  3)  f (1)  f (2)  f (3)  0  f (x ) is not one-one
For each y  R, there exists xR such that f (x )  y . Therefore f is onto.
Hence, f:RR is onto but not one-one.

 (1)2 1 2C1 (1)4  (1)2  2 2C 2 (2)4  2  16  14

Therefore, number of surjection from A to B = 14.


Trick : Total number of functions from A to B is 2 4 of which two function f (x )  a for all xA

and g(x )  b for all x  A are not surjective. Thus, total number of surjection from A to B
 2 4  2  14 .

Total number of one-one onto functions = 3!
32 If f : R  R, then f (x) | x | is

(c) One-one and onto (d) None of these
Sol. (d)

Let   R such that f (x )      x

Clearly x  R for   1 . So, f is not onto.
34 The function f : R  R defined by f (x )  e x is
(a) Onto (b) Many-one
(c) One-one and into (d) Many one and onto
Sol. (c)
Function f : R  R is defined by f (x )  e x . Let x1 , x 2  R and f (x1 )  f (x 2 ) or e x1  e x 2

x1  x 2 . Therefore f is one-one. Let f (x )  e x  y . Taking log on both sides, we get x  log y

. We know that negative real numbers have no pre-image or the function is not onto and
zero is not the image of any real number. Therefore function f is into.

In this type of function every element of set A has unique image in set B and there is no
element left in set B. Hence f is one-one and onto function.

Given, f (x ) is an odd periodic function. We can take sin x , which is odd and periodic.
Now since, sin x has period = 2 and f (x ) has period = 2.

Let f (x ) be periodic with period T. Then,

 [x  T ]  [x ]  T for all xR  T  1, 2, 3, 4,........


The smallest value of T satisfying,

but, x 1  0, x  1  0  x > 1

So f (x) has empty domain.

(B) g ( x)  cos 1 (2  { x })

Now 0  { x }  1  1  2  {x}  2

but, cos 1 x is defined in [  1 , 1]

So g (x) has empty domain.

(C) h( x)  ln ln(cos x)

Now ln(cos x)  0  cos x  1

So h (x) has empty domain.

In 1  x  2 , range of f (x) is {1}

Range of 2x – 3 in 2  x  3 is (1, 3].

Hence range of f (x) is [1, 5].

Replace x with x + 2 to get f  x   f  x  8 .

Q.19
Let f (x) = ax + b & g (x) = cx + d.
Case I : f (-1) = 0 & f (1) = 3, g (-1) = 3 & g (1) = 0
3x  3 3  3x
Then f  x   & g  x 

Q.21

fog  sin  tan x  & gof  tan  sin x 

Period of tan x is  and range of tan x is R.

Hence sin  tan  x  T    sin  tan x   T  

& range of fog will be complete range of sine function i.e. [-1, 1].
Period of sin x is  and range of sin x is [-1, 1].

Hence tan  sin  x  T    tan  sin x   T  2


  
Now as range of sine function is [-1, 1] which is a subset of   ,  hence gof will be an

increasing function in each period.
Therefore Range of gof will be [-tan 1, tan 1].
