A function f: A→ B is defined to be injective or one-one if every value of f(x) is different for different values of x.
If the above condition is not satisfied, then the function is called many-one.
A function f: A→ B is defined to be surjective or onto if for every value of f(x), there will be a value x that will exist.
Explanation:
Given:
Let A be a set having elements {a, b, c, d, e}.
Let f: A→ B is a function defined such that it is one-one and onto.
The set B will have a single value of f(x) for each value of x in A since the function is one-one.
Let the corresponding elements be {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} in B against {a, b, c, d, e} in A.
Since the function is onto, each value in B will have a corresponding value in x. Hence, there will be no more elements in B other than {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.
The inverse of the function will be f--1: B→ A.
⇒ As per the discussion above A = {a, b, c, d, e} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.
⇒ We can see that for every element in B, there is a corresponding element in A.
⇒ it can be said that f--1 is one-one and onto.
Hence the correct answer is option 4.
