f (x) = log√ (3 − √2 sin x + √2 cos x)
5

−2 ≤ (−√2 sin x + √2 cos x) ≤ 2

⇒ 1 ≤ (3 − √2 sin x + √2 cos x) ≤ 5

⇒ log 1 ≤ f (x) ≤ log 5

√5 √5

⇒ 0 ≤ f (x) ≤ 2

2. (2) f (x) = 1+|x|

x
,x ∈ R

If x > 0, |x| = x ⇒ f (x) = 1+x

x
which is not defined for x = −1
If x < 0, |x| = −x ⇒ f (x) = x

1−x
which is not defined for x = 1 Thus f (x) defined for all values of R except 1
and −1
Hence, range = (−1, 1).

Given equation is [e x 2
] +[e
x
+ 1]−3 = 0

We know that [x + I ]=[x]+I , I ∈ Z, where [⋅], represents the greatest integer function.
x 2 x
⇒ [e ] +[e ]+1 − 3 = 0

Let, [e x
]= t

2
⇒ t + t − 2 = 0

⇒(t + 2)(t − 1)= 0

⇒ t = −2, 1

But [e x
]= −2, ( Not possible because we know that e x
> 0)

Hence, [e x
]= 1 and also, we know that if [x]= 1, ⇒ 1 ≤ x < 2

x
∴ 1 ≤ e < 2

And, now by using the definition of logarithm, we have, if e x

= a, then log e
a = x

⇒ log 1 ≤ x < log 2

e e

⇒ 0 ≤ x < log 2
e

⇒ x ∈[0, log 2).

i.e. f (f (x))= (4 − ((4 − x 50

Now g(x)= f (f (f (x)))+f (f (x))

So g(1)= f (1)+1 = 3 50 + 1

Hence [g(1)]=[3 50

only '2' in range → 1 function.
Total no of many one function without any condition = 60-24=40.
Number of many one function with 2 is not in range =27-6 =21.
Therefore no of not one-one functions with 2 in range = 40-21=19.
6. (490)
Given,
f (mn)= f (m)⋅f (n)

Put m = 1, then f (1 ⋅ n)= f (1)⋅f (n)⇒ f (1)= 1 {f (n)≠ 0}

Put m = n = 2
f (4)= f (2)⋅f (2)

If f (2)= 1, then f (4)= 1 and if f (2)= 2, then f (4)= 4

Put m = 2, n = 3
f (6)= f (2)⋅f (3)

If f (2)= 1, then f (3) can be any value between 1 to 7

If f (2)= 2, then f (3) can be 1 or 2 or 3
Similarly f (5), f (7) can take any value from {1, 2, . . . , 7}
So, total number of function =(1 × 1 × 7 × 1 × 7 × 1 × 7)+(1 × 1 × 3 × 1 × 7 × 1 × 7)

9. (3)
Given,
Functional equation f (x + y)= f (x)+f (y)−1
Now taking x = 0 & y = 0 in above equation we get,
f (0 + 0)= f (0)+f (0)−1 ⇒ f (0)= 1

Now we know that,

f ( x+h ) −f ( x )
′
f (x)= lim
h
h→0

f ( x ) +f ( h ) −1−f ( x )

⇒ f (x)= lim
h

f ( h ) −1

⇒ f (x)= lim
h
h→0

f ( h ) −1
Now let lim = k
h
h→0

So, the equation becomes f ′

(x)= k

Now putting x = 0 in above equation we get,

′ ′
f (0)= k ⇒ k = 2 {as given f (0)= 2}

So, f ′
(x)= 2

Now integrate both side we get,

f (x)= 2x + c

Now again taking x = 0 we get,

f (0)= 2 × 0 + c ⇒ c = 1 {as f (0)= 1}

So, f (x)= 2x + 1
