22. (1) We have, gof is injective and surjective such that gof : A ∈ C
Let h(x) = gof(x)
∴h(y) = gof (y)

h(x) = h(y) ⇒ gof (x) = gof(y)

g{f (x)} = g{f (y)} ⇒ f (x) = f (y) (∵ g is injective )

⇒x = y (∵ f is injective)
Thus, gof(x) = gof (y), ∀x, y ∈ R
∴ gof is injective iff g and f both injective.
Let z ∈ C such that g(y) = z(∵ g is surjective) and
y ∈ B such that f (x) = y (∵ f is surjective)
∴ gof (x) = g(y) = z

Every element of C is the some element of A.

So, gof is surjective iff g and f both are surjective.
23. (4) We have, f (z) = |z|
Let z 1 = 1 + i, |z1 | = √2

and z 2 = 1 − i |z2 | = √2

⇒f (z1 ) = f (z2 ) , but z1 ≠ z2

∴ f (z) is not one-one function.

Also, |z| ≥ 0
∴ f (z) is also not onto function.
Hence, f (z) is neither one-one nor onto function.

∴ f (3) = = 1 = 1

Thus, f (3) = f (2), but 3 ≠ 2

So, f is many-one function.

Surjectively : Let n be any arbitrary element of N . If n is odd natural number, then 2m − 1 is also an odd natural
number such that

f (2m − 1) = = m − 1

If n is even natural number, then 2m is also an even natural number such that
Thus, for every m ∈ N (whether even or odd).
So, f is an onto function.
∴ f (x) is many-one and onto function.

f (n1 ) = f (n2 ) ⇒ (n1 + 5) = (n2 + 5)

∴ f (n) is one-one function.

Let y ∈ N is such that f (n) = y ⇒ y = (n + 5) 2
