which is not Possible, since {x}∈ [0, 1).

Hence, x = 1 is the only one solution in (−∞, ∞).

So, range of f og(x) is [−1, 0)⊂ R .

∴ f og(x) is an even function. So, it is a many one function.

Given,

f (n) + f (n + 1) = 1, ∀ n ∈ {1, 2, 3}
n

⇒ nf (n) + f (n + 1) = n

At n = 1,

At n = 2,
2f (2) + f (3) = 2 ....(2)

3f (3) + f (4) = 3 ....(3)
Put the value of f (2) from equation (1) in equation (2),
2(1 − f (1)) + f (3) = 2

⇒ f (3) = 2f (1) ....(4)

Put the value of f (3) from equation (4) in equation (3),
3(2f (1)) + f (4) = 3

⇒ f (4) = 3 − 6f (1)

∵ f : {1, 2, 3, 4} → {a ∈ Z : |a| ≤ 8}

⇒ −8 ≤ f (4) ≤ 8

⇒ −8 ≤ 3 − 6f (1) ≤ 8

⇒ −11 ≤ −6f (1) ≤ 5

⇒ ≤ f (1) ≤
6 6

⇒ f (1) = 0, 1

Case I: f (1) = 0
⇒ f (2) = 1, f (3) = 0, f (4) = 3

Case II: f (1) = 1

⇒ f (2) = 0, f (3) = 2, f (4) = −3

Therefore, two such functions are possible.

9. (2)
Given f (x + y)= 2f (x)⋅f (y) & f (1)= 2
Now putting x = 1 & y = 1 in f (x + y)= 2f (x)⋅f (y) we get
2 3
f (1 + 1)= 2f (1)⋅f (1)= 2 × 2 = 2

So f (2)= 2 , Similarly

f (3)= 2 , f (4)= 2 . . . . .

Now

∑ f (α + k)= ∑ 2f (α)⋅f (k)= (2 − 1)
k=1 k=1 3
10 512 20
⇒ 2f (α)∑ f (k)= (2 − 1)
k=1 3

⇒ 2f (α){f (1)+f (2)⋯ f (10)}= (2 − 1)

2 3

20
2 −1 512 20
⇒ 2 × 2f (α)× = (2 − 1)
3 3

Now comparing both side we get

4f (α)= 512 ⇒ f (α)= 128

⇒ f (α)= 2
7
⇒ α = 4 .
10. (4)
Given: f (x)= 4√2x 3
− 3√2x − 1

′ 2
⇒ f (x)= 12√2x − 3√ 2

′ 2
⇒ f (x)= 3√2(4x − 1)

′
⇒ f (x)= 3√2(2x − 1)(2x + 1)

So, the function is increasing in x ∈( 1

2
, 1) .
Thus, the function will intersect the x−axis only at one point.

So, statement-II is also correct.
Hence, both the statements are correct.
