. 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 be the set of all 50 students of Class X in a school. Let f : A → N be function defined by f(x) = roll number of the student x. Show that f is one-one but not onto.

Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1,  Example7 No two different students in the class can have the same roll number. Therefore, f must be one-one. We can assume without any loss of generality that roll numbers of students are from 1 to 50. This implies that 51,52,53... in N is not roll number of any student of the class, so that 51,52,53...  can not be an image of any element of X under f. Hence, f is not 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.
