For all n ∈ N, state whether the function f is bijective. Justify your
answer.
15 Show that the modulus function f : R → R given by f (x) = |x|, is neither
one-one nor onto, where |x| is x, if x is positive or 0 and
|x| is –x, if x is negative.
16 Show that the function f :R→ {x ∈ R : −1 < 𝑥𝑥 < 1} defined by f( x) =
𝑥𝑥
,x ∈ R is one-one and onto function.

17 Students of Grade 9, planned to plant saplings along straight lines,
parallel to each other to one side of the playground ensuring that they
had enough play area. Let us assume that they planted one of the rows
of the saplings along the line y = x – 4.
Let L be the set of all lines which are parallel on the ground and R be a
relation on L.
22 Let A = {1, 2, 3} and consider the relation R = {1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1,
2), (2, 3), (1,3)}. Then R is
(a) reflexive but not symmetric (b) reflexive but not transitive
(c) symmetric and transitive (d) neither symmetric, nor
transitive
23 Set A has 3 elements, and set B has 4 elements. Then the number of
injective mappings that can be defined from A to B is
(a) 144 (b) 12 (c) 24 (d) 64
24 The maximum number of equivalence relations on the set A ={1, 2, 3}
are
(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 5
