. Let f : R → R be defined as f(x) = 3x. Choose the correct answer. (A) f is one-one onto (B) f is many-one onto (C) f is one-one but not onto (D) f is neither one-one nor onto.

Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1,  Exercise 1.2, Q12

f: R → R defined as f(x) = 3x.

Let x, y ∈ R such that f(x) = f(y).
⇒ 3x = 3y
⇒ x = y
∴f is one-one.
Also, for any real number (y) in co-domain R, there exists in R such that.
∴f is onto.
Hence, function f is one-one and onto.
The correct answer is A.

Let A = R – {3} and B = R – {1}. Consider the function f : A → B defined by f(x) = (x-2)/(x-3) Is f one-one and onto? Justify your answer.

Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1,  Exercise 1.2, Q10 A =  R  - {3}, B =  R  - {1} f : A → B is defined as Let x,y∈A such that f(x)=f(y). ⇒ (x-2)/(x-3)=(y-2)/(y-3) ⇒ (x-2)(y-3)=(y-2)(x-3) ⇒ xy-3x-2y+6=xy-3y-2x+6 ⇒ -3x-2y=-3y-2x ⇒ 3x-2x=3y-2y ⇒ x=y ∴  f  is one-one. Let  y  ∈B =  R  - {1}. Then,  y  ≠ 1. The function  f  is onto if there exists  x  ∈A such that  f ( x ) =  y. Now, f(x)=y ⇒(x-2)(x-3)=y ⇒x-2=xy-3y ⇒x(1-y)=-3y+2 ⇒ x=2-3y/1-y  ∈A   Thus, for any  y  ∈ B, there exists  x=2-3y/1-y  ∈A     such that Hence, function  f  is one-one and onto.

Show that the relation R in the set A of all the books in a library of a college, given by R = {(x, y) : x and y have same number of pages} is an equivalence relation.

Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1,  Exercise 1.1, Q7 Set  A  is the set of all books in the library of a college. Given, R = { x ,  y ):  x  and  y  have the same number of pages} Now, R is reflexive since ( x ,  x ) ∈ R as  x  and  x  has the same number of pages. Let ( x ,  y ) ∈ R  ⇒  x  and  y  have the same number of pages. ⇒  y  and  x  have the same number of pages. ⇒ ( y ,  x ) ∈ R ∴R is symmetric. Now, let ( x ,  y ) ∈R and ( y ,  z ) ∈ R. ⇒  x  and  y  and have the same number of pages and  y  and  z  have the same number of pages. ⇒  x  and  z  have the same number of pages. ⇒ ( x ,  z ) ∈ R ∴R is transitive. Hence, R is an equivalence relation.
