NCERT Solutions class 12 Maths Relations and Functions
1. Show that the function
defined by
is one-one and onto, where
is the set of all non-zero real numbers. Is the result true, if the domain
is replaced by N with co-domain being same as
?
Ans.
Part I: and
If then
is one-one.
is onto.
Part II: When domain R is replaced by N, co-domain R remaining the same, then, f=N→Rf=N→R
If
where
N
is one-one.
But every real number belonging to co-domain may not have a pre-image in N.
e.g. N
is not onto.
2. Check the injectivity and surjectivity of the following functions:
(i) given by
(ii) given by
(iii) given by
(iv) given by
(v) given by
Ans. (i) given by
If then
is injective.
There are such numbers of co-domain which have no image in domain N.
e.g. 3 co-domain N, but there is no pre-image in domain of
therefore is not onto.
is not surjective.
(ii) given by
Since, Z = therefore,
and 1 have same image.
is not injective.
There are such numbers of co-domain which have no image in domain Z.
e.g. 3 co-domain, but
domain of
is not surjective.
(iii) given by
As
and 1 have same image.
is not injective.
e.g. co-domain, but
domain R of
is not surjective.
(iv) given by
If then
i.e., for every N, has a unique image in its co-domain.
is injective.
There are many such members of co-domain of which do not have pre-image in its domain e.g., 2, 3, etc.
Therefore is not onto.
is not surjective.
(v) given by
If then
i.e., for every Z, has a unique image in its co-domain.
is injective.
There are many such members of co-domain of which do not have pre-image in its domain.
Therefore is not onto. ff is not surjective.
3. Prove that the Greatest integer Function
, given by
is neither one-one nor onto, where
denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to 
Ans. Function , given by
and
is not one-one.
All the images of R belong to its domain have integers as the images in co-domain. But no fraction proper or improper belonging to co-domain of
has any pre-image in its domain.
Therefore, ff is not onto.
4. Show that the Modulus Function
, given by
is neither one-one nor onto, where is
if
is positive or 0 and
is
if
is negative.
Ans. Modulus Function , given by
Now
contains
Thus negative integers are not images of any element.
is not one-one.
Also second set R contains some negative numbers which are not images of any real number.
is not onto.
5. Show that the Signum Function
, given by
is neither one-one nor onto.
Ans. Signum Function , given by
for
is not one-one.
Except no other members of co-domain of
has any pre-image its domain.
is not onto.
Therefore, ff is neither one-one nor onto.
6. Let A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7} and let
= {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)} be a function from A to B. Show that
is one-one.
Ans. A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7} and = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)}
Here, and
Here, also distinct elements of A have distinct images in B.
Therefore, is a one-one function.
7. In each of the following cases, state whether the function is one-one, onto or bijective. Justify your answer.
(i) defined by
(ii) defined by
Ans. (i) defined by
Now, if R, then
and
And if , then
is one-one.
Again, if every element of Y (– R) is image of some element of X (R) under i.e., for every
Y, there exists an element
in X such that
Now
is onto or bijective function.
(ii) defined by
Now, if R, then
and
And if , then
is not one-one.
Again, if every element of Y (– R) is image of some element of X (R) under i.e., for every
Y, there exists an element
in X such that
Now, x=±y−1−−−−√x=±y−1
f(y−1−−−−√)=1+y−1=−y≠yf(y−1)=1+y−1=−y≠y
is not onto.
Therefore, is not bijective.
8. Let A and B be sets. Show that
: A x B
B x A such that
is a bijective function.
Ans. Injectivity: Let and
A x B such that
and
=
=
for all
A x B
So, is injective.
Surjectivity: Let be an arbitrary element of B x A. Then
B and
A.
A x B
Thus, for all B x A, their exists
A x B such that
So, A x B
B x A is an onto function, therefore
is bijective.
9. Let
be defined by
for all
N.
State whether the function is bijective. Justify your answer.
Ans. be defined by
(a) and
The elements 1, 2, belonging to domain of have the same image 1 in its co-domain.
So, is not one-one, therefore,
is not injective.
(b) Every number of co-domain has pre-image in its domain e.g., 1 has two pre-images 1 and 2.
So, is onto, therefore,
is not bijective.
10. Let A = R – {3} and B = R – {1}. Consider the function
: A
B defined by
Is
one-one and onto? Justify your answer.
Ans. A = R – {3} and B = R – {1} and
Let A, then
and
Now, for
is one-one function.
Now
=
Therefore, is an onto function.
11. Let
be defined as
Choose the correct answer:
(A) is one-one onto
(B) is many-one onto
(C) is one-one but not onto
(D) is neither one-one nor onto
Ans. and
Let , then
and
Therefore, is not one-one function.
Now,
and
Therefore, is not onto function.
Therefore, option (D) is correct.
12. Let
be defined as
Choose the correct answer:
(A) is one-one onto
(B) is many-one onto
(C) is one-one but not onto
(D) is neither one-one nor onto
Ans. Let R such that
Therefore, is one-one function.
Now, consider R (co-domain of
) certainly
R (domain of
)
Thus for all R (co-domain of
) there exists
R (domain of
) such that
Therefore, is onto function.
Therefore, option (A) is correct.
