2.
Given) f : R →→ R defined by f(x) = [x]
For one-one: We know by definition that for
a ≤ x i.e. for x1,x2∈ (a, a+1) ,
x1 ≠ x2 ⇒ f(x1) = f(x2) = a
Hence, not one-one.
For onto: For y(non integer) in co-domain there does not exist x ∈ R in domain such that f(x) = y. Hence, not onto.
3.
Given \(f(x)=x^3+1\)
For \(x_1 \neq x_2\)
\(\Rightarrow x_1^3 \neq x_2^3 \Rightarrow x_1^3+1 \neq x_2^3+1\)

(i) Let \(x_{ 1 },x_{ 2 }\in R\).
Now \(f(x_{ 1 })=f(x_{ 2 })\Rightarrow \frac { 4x_{ 1 }-3 }{ 5 } =\frac { 4x_{ 2 }-3 }{ 5 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \) \(4x_{ 1 }-3=4x_{ 2 }-3\Rightarrow 4x_{ 1 }=4x_{ 2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow \) \(x_{ 1 }=x_{ 2 }\Rightarrow \quad 'f'\) one-one
Let \(y\in R.\) Let \(y=f(x_{ 0 })\).
Then \(\frac { 4x_{ 0 }-3 }{ 5 } =y\Rightarrow x_{ 0 }=\frac { 5y+3 }{ 4 } \Rightarrow x_{ 0 }\in R\)
\(f(x_{ 0 })=\frac { 4x_{ 0 }-3 }{ 5 } =\frac { 4 }{ 5 } \left( \frac { 5y+3 }{ 4 } \right) -\frac { 3 }{ 5 } \)
\(=y+\frac { 3 }{ 5 } -\frac { 3 }{ 5 } =y\)
\(\therefore \) For each \(y\in R\), there exists \(x_{ 0 }y\in R\) such that
\(f(x_{ 0 })=y\)
\(\therefore \) 'f' is one-one and onto function.
5.
The smallest equivalence relation R1 containing (1, 2) and (2, 1) is {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2), (2, 1)}.
Now we are left with only 4 pairs namely (2, 3), (3, 2), (1, 3) and (3, 1).
If we add any one, say (2, 3) to R1, then for symmetry we must add (3, 2) also and now for transitivity we are forced to add (1, 3) and (3, 1).
Thus, the only equivalence relation bigger than R1 is the universal relation.
This shows that the total number of equivalence relations containing (1, 2) and (2, 1) is two.
6.
Partition the set N into pairwise disjoint subsets. The equivalent classes are as given by:

\(A_{ 2 }=\{ 2,7,12,17,22,.........\} \)
\(A_{ 3 }=\{ 3,8,13,18,23,.........\} \)
\(A_{ 4 }=\{ 4,9,14,19,24,.........\} \)
Clearly the above five sets are pairwise disjoint and \(A_{ 0 }\cup A_{ 1 }\cup A_{ 2 }\cup A_{ 3 }\cup A_{ 4 }=\overset { 4 }{ \underset { i=0 }{ \cup } } A_{ i }=N\)

y S z ⇒ 5 -2 \(\sqrt3\) + \(\sqrt3\) = 5 - \(\sqrt3\) is an irrational number
But x S z ⇒ 1 + \(\sqrt3\) - 2 \(\sqrt3\) + \(\sqrt3\) = 1 is an irrational number

The given relation is R = {(x, y):x, y ∈ Z and x-y is divisible by 3}.
To prove R is an equivalence relation, we have to prove R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Reflexive : As, for any x ∈ Z, we have x - x = 0, which is divisible by 3.
⇒ (x - x) is divisible by 3
⇒ (x,x)∈ R, ∀ x ∈ Z
Therefore, R is reflexive.
Symmetric Let (x, y) ∈ R, where x, y ∈ Z.
⇒ (x - y) is divisible by 3. [by definition of R]
⇒ x - y=3 A for some A ∈ Z.
⇒ y - x = 3(-A)
⇒ (y - x) is also divisible by 3.
⇒ (y, x)∈R
Therefore, R is symmetric.
Transitive Let (x, y) ∈ R, where x, y ∈ Z.
⇒ (x - y) is divisible by 3.
⇒ x - y = 3A for some A∈Z
Again, let (y, z) ∈ R, where y, z∈ Z.
⇒ (y - z) is divisible by 3.
⇒ y - z = 3B for some B ∈ Z.
Now, (x - y)+(y - z) = 3A + 3B
⇒ x - 2 = 3(A + B)
⇒ (x - z) is divisible by 3 for some
(A + B)∈ Z ⇒ (x,z) ∈ R
Therefore, R is transitive.
Thus, R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. Hence, it is an equivalence relation.
14.
Given, function \(f: \mid-4,4] \rightarrow[0,4]\)
Defined by \(f(x)=\sqrt{16-x^2}\)
For one-one Let \(x_1, x_2 \in[-4,4]\)
Such that \(f\left(x_1\right)=f\left(x_2\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow \sqrt{16-x_1^2}=\sqrt{16-x_2^2} \)
\(\Rightarrow 16-x_1^2=16-x_2^2\)
\(\Rightarrow x_1^2=x_2^2 \Rightarrow\left(x_1^2-x_2^2\right)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow f(x)\) is not one-one function.
For onto
Let \(y \in[0,4]\) (codomain) be any arbitrary element.
Then, y=f(x)
\(\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{16-x^2} \Rightarrow y^2=16-x^2 \)
\(\Rightarrow x^2=16-y^2 \Rightarrow x=\sqrt{16-y^2}\)
Thus, for each \(y \in[0,4]\), there exists
\(x=\sqrt{16-y^2} \in[-4,4]\)
Such that f(x)=y
So, f(x) is onto.
Also, given \(f(a)=\sqrt{7} \Rightarrow \sqrt{16-a^2}=\sqrt{7}\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 16-a^2=7 \quad \Rightarrow a^2=9 \Rightarrow a= \pm 3\)
\( \Rightarrow \quad\left(x_1-x_2\right)\left(x_1+x_2\right)=0 \Rightarrow x_1-x_2=0 \)
\( \text { or } \quad x_1+x_2=0 \Rightarrow x_1=x_2 \text { or } x_1=-x_2\)
15.
Given, \(f(x)=\frac{4 x}{3 x+4}\) and \(f: R-\left\{-\frac{4}{3}\right\} \rightarrow R\)
For one-one Let \(f\left(x_1\right)=f\left(x_2\right)\), for some \(x_1, x_2 \in R-\left\{-\frac{4}{3}\right\}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{4 x_1}{3 x_1+4} =\frac{4 x_2}{3 x_2+4}\)
\(\Rightarrow \left(x_1\right)\left(3 x_2+4\right) =\left(x_2\right)\left(3 x_1+4\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow 3 x_1 x_2+4 x_1 =3 x_1 x_2+4 x_2\)
\(\Rightarrow 4 x_1 =4 x_2 \Rightarrow x_1=x_2\)
\(\Rightarrow f(x) \text { is one-one function. }\)
For onto Let \(y=\frac{4 x}{3 x+4}\)
\(\Rightarrow 3 x y+4 y=4 x \Rightarrow 4 x-3 x y=4 y\)
\(\Rightarrow x(4-3 y)=4 y \Rightarrow x=\frac{4 y}{4-3 y}\)
Clearly, x will not define, if 4-3 y=0
\(\Rightarrow \quad y=\frac{4}{3}\)
Therefore Range of \(f(x)=R-\left\{\frac{4}{3}\right\}\)
Therefore Range of \(f(x) \neq\) Codomain of f(x) So, f(x) is not an onto function.
16.
Relation R is defined by (a, b) R (c, d) \(\Leftrightarrow\) ad = be for all (a, b), (c, d) \(\in\) N x N.
For reflexive: (a, b) R (a, b) \(\Leftrightarrow\) ab = ba, which is true in N. Hence, reflexive.
For symmetric: (a, b) R (c, d) \(\Leftrightarrow\) ad = be
\(\Leftrightarrow\) cb = da \(\Leftrightarrow\) (c, d) R (a, b).
Hence, symmetric.
For transitive: Consider (a, b) R (c, d) and
(c, d) R (e,f) \(\Leftrightarrow\) ad = be and
cf = de \(\Leftrightarrow\) ad-cf = be-de \(\Leftrightarrow\) af = be
\(\Leftrightarrow\) (a, b) R (e,f). Hence, transitive.
Since relation R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Hence, relation R is an equivalence relation.
17.
It is clear from the graph that it is a parabolic curve. So, let the equation of the function is
\(y=a x^{2}+b x+c \)
Points on the curve are A(1, 2), B(2, 3) and C(-1, 6) On putting the points A(1, 2), B(2, 3) and C(-1, 6) in the
Equation (i) one-by-one, we get
At \(A(1,2), 2=a(1)^{2}+b(1)+c \Rightarrow 2=a+b+c \)
At \(B(2,3), 3=a(2)^{2}+2 b+c \Rightarrow 3=4 a+2 b+c \)
and at \(C(-1,6), 6=a(-1)^{2}+b(-1)+c \)
⇒ 6 = a - b + c
On solving Equation (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get
\(a=1, b=-2 \text { and } c=3\)
On putting the values of a, b and c in Equation (i), we get
\(y=x^{2}-2 x+3\)
\(\therefore\) Required equation of function is \(f(x)=y=x^{2}-2 x+3\)
Now,
\(y=(x-1)^{2}+2 \)
\(\Rightarrow (x-1)^{2}=y-2 \)
\(\Rightarrow (x-1) =\pm \sqrt{y-2}\)
\(\Rightarrow x =1 \pm \sqrt{y-2}\)
Let y = 3, then \(x=1 \pm \sqrt{3-2} \)
\(\Rightarrow x=1 \pm 1 \Rightarrow x=2,0 \)
Here, we see that for two different values of domain (i.e. x = 0, 2 ). We get same image (i.e. y = 3). Hence, f(x) is many-one function.
18.
We have, \( y=f(x)=\sqrt{4-x^{2}, 0 \leq x \leq 2,0 \leq y \leq 2} \)
For one-one Let \( x_{1}, x_{2}\) be any two elements of the interval 0 \(\leq \)x \(\leq \)2,
such that \(f\left(x_{1}\right)=f\left(x_{2}\right) \Rightarrow \sqrt{4-x_{1}^{2}}=\sqrt{4-x_{2}^{2}} \Rightarrow 4-x_{1}^{2}=4-x_{2}^{2} \Rightarrow \)
\(x_{1}^{2}=x_{2}^{2} \Rightarrow x_{1}=\pm x_{2} \Rightarrow x_{1}=x_{2}\)
\(\left[x_{1} \neq-x_{2},\right. since x_{1} and x_{2} are non-negative ] \)
So, f(x) is one-one. For onto Let k \(\in\)[0, 2] be any arbitrary element and let
\(f(x)=k \Rightarrow \sqrt{4-x^{2}}=k \)
On squaring both sides, we get \(4-x^{2}=k^{2}\)
[\(\because\) x is non-negative, so we take positive]
Also, for \(0 \leq k \leq 2\), we have \(0 \leq \sqrt{4-k^{3}} \leq 2 \Rightarrow 0 \leq x \leq 2\), which is true.
Thus, for each k \( \in\)[0, 2], there exists \(x=\sqrt{4-k^{2}} \in[0,2] \) such that f(x) = k .
So, f(x) is onto. Hence, f is bijective function.
19.
We have a function\(f: \mathbf{R} \rightarrow\{x \in \mathbf{R}:-1<x<1\}\)
\(f(x)=\frac{x}{1+|x|}=\left\{\begin{array} \frac{x}{1+x}, \text { if } x \geq 0 \\ \frac{x}{1-x}, \text { if } x<0 \end{array}\right. \)
For one-one Let \(x_{1}, x_{2} e R\) . Then, the following cases arise
Case T When both are lesg than 0
Let \(x_{1}, x_{2} e \ R \ such \ that \ x_{1}<0, x_{2}<0\) and\( f\left(x_{1}\right)=f\left(x_{2}\right) \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{x_{1}}{1-x_{1}}=\frac{x_{2}}{1-x_{2}} \Rightarrow x_{1}-x_{1} x_{2}=x_{2}-x_{1} x_{2} \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x_{1}=x_{3} \)
Case II
When both are greater than or equal to 0 Let \(x_{1}, x_{2} \in R\)
such that \( x_{1} \geq 0, x_{2} \geq 0 and f\left(x_{1}\right)=f\left(x_{2}\right) \)
\(\frac{x_{1}}{1+x_{1}}=\frac{x_{2}}{1+x_{2}} \Rightarrow x_{1}+x_{1} x_{2}=x_{2}+x_{1} x_{2}\)
Case III When one is non-negative and other is negative Let \( x_{1} \geq 0\ and\ x_{2}<0\)
Now, if \(f\left(x_{1}\right)=f\left(x_{2}\right)\) , then\( \frac{x_{1}}{1+x_{1}}=\frac{x_{2}}{1-x_{3}} \)
\(\Rightarrow x_{1}-x_{\mathrm{t}} x_{2}=x_{2}+x_{1} x_{2} \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x_{1}-x_{2}=2 x_{1} x_{2} \), which is not possible as \(\mathrm{LHS}>0\)
and RHS \(\leq 0 . Thus, x_{1} \neq x_{2} \Rightarrow f\left(x_{1}\right) \neq f\left(x_{2}\right) \)
From cases L , II and \(\Pi\) , we get f is one-one.
For onto Let \(y \in(-1,1)\) be any arbitrary element. Then. the following cases arise
Case I When y \(\geq\) 0 , t.e. 0 \(\leq\) y<1
\(\left[\because f(x)=\frac{x}{1+x} \geq 0\right.\)]
Cónsider, \(y=f(x)=\frac{x}{1+x}\)
\(\Rightarrow y+y x=x \Rightarrow y=x-y x \)
(\(\Rightarrow \ x=\frac{y}{1-y} \geq 0\), for 0
Thus, for each y \(\in\)[0, 1) , there exists \(x=\frac{y}{1-y} \in R\) such that f(x) = y .
Case II When y < 0, he. -1
\(\left[\because f(x)=\frac{x}{1-x}<0\right] \)
Consider, \(y=f(x)=\frac{x}{1-x} \)
\(\Rightarrow y=y x=x \Rightarrow y=y x+x=x(y+1) \)
\( (x=\frac{y}{y+1}<0, \text { for }-1\)
Thus, for each y \(\in\)(-1, 0) , there exist \(x=\frac{y}{y+1} \in R\) such that f(x) = y
From cases I and II, we get f is onto.
20.
\(\text { Given function } f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x+1, & \text { if } x \text { is odd } \\ x-1, & \text { if } x \text { is ever } \end{array}\right.\)
For one-one:
\(\text {(i) Let } x_{1}, x_{2} \in N \text { and } x_{1}, x_{2}, \text { are both even. }\)
\(x_{1} \neq x_{2} \Rightarrow x_{1}-1 \neq x_{2}-1 \Rightarrow f\left(x_{1}\right) \neq f\left(x_{2}\right)\)
\(\text {(ii) Let } x_{1}, x_{2} \in N \text { and } x_{1}, x_{2}, \text { are both odd. }\)
\(x_{1} \neq x_{2} \Rightarrow x_{1}+1 \neq x_{2}+1 \Rightarrow f\left(x_{1}\right) \neq f\left(x_{2}\right)\)
\(\text {(iii) Let } x_{1}, x_{2} \in N \text { and } x_{1} \text { is even and } x_{2} \text { is odd. Then } x_{1} \neq x_{2}\)
\(\text {Also, } f\left(x_{1}\right)=x_{1}-1(\text { odd }) \text { and } f\left(x_{2}\right)=x_{2}+1(\text { even })\)
\(\Rightarrow f\left(x_{1}\right) \neq f\left(x_{2}\right)\)
In all the three cases \(x_{1} \neq x_{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow f\left(x_{1}\right) \neq f\left(x_{2}\right)\)
Hence, function is one-one.
For onto: Let y \(\in\)N (co-domain)
If y is even
\(\Rightarrow y=x+1 \Rightarrow x=y-1 \in N \text { (domain) }\)
f (y - 1) = y -1 + 1 = y
If y is odd
\(\Rightarrow y=x-1 \Rightarrow x=y+1 \in N \text { (domain) }\)
f (y + 1) = y +1 - 1 = y
\(\therefore\) For every y \(\in\)N (co-domain), there exists x \(\in\) N (domain) such that y = f(x). Hence, function is onto.
\(\therefore\) f is both one-one and onto.
21.
We have a function f :N ➝ N, defmed as
[(1) = [(2) = 1 and [(x) = x - 1, for every x > 2
For one-one Since, [(1) = [(2) = 1, therefore 1 and 2
have same image, namely 1. So, f is not one-one.
For onto Note that y = 1 has two pre-images, namely i and 2. Now, let y ∈ N, y ≠ 1 be any arbitrary element.
Then, y = [(x) ⇒ y = x -1
⇒ x = y + 1 > 2 for every y ∈ N, y ≠ 1
Thus, for every y ∈ N, y ≠ 1, there exists x = y +1 such that
[(x) = [(y +1) = Y+1-1 = y
Hence, f is onto.
22.
We .have a relation R on N x N defined by (a, b)R(c, d), if
ad(b + c) = bc(a + d) .
Reflexive Let (a, b) ∈ N x N be any arbitrary element.
We have to show that (a, b) R (a, b), i.e.
ab(b + a) = ba(a + b), which is always true, as natural numbers are commutative under usual multiplication and addition .•
Since, (a, b) ∈ N x N was arbitrary, so R is reflexive.
Symmetric Let (a, b), (c, d) ∈ N x N
such that (a, b) R (c, d), i.e. ad(b + c) = bc(a + d)
We have to show that (c, d) R (a, b),
i.e. cb(d + a) = da(c + b)
From Equation (i), we have ad( b + c) = bc( a + d)
⇒ da(c + b) = eb(d + a)
[natural numbers are commutative under
usual addition and multiplication] [1]
⇒ cb(d+a) = da(c+b)
⇒ (c, d)R(a, b)
So, R is symmetric.
Transitive Let (a, b), (c, d) and (e, f) ∈N x N such that (a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R (e, f).
⇒ (a, b)R(c, d) ⇒ ad(b+c) = be(a+d)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{b+c}{b c}=\frac{a+d}{a d} \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{c}+\frac{1}{b}=\frac{1}{d}+\frac{1}{a}\)
and \((c, d) R(e, f) \Rightarrow c f(d+e)=d e(c+f)\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{d+e}{d e}=\frac{c+f}{c f} \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{1}{e}+\frac{1}{d}=\frac{1}{f}+\frac{1}{c}\)
Now, adding Equation (ii) and (iii), we get
\(\left(\frac{1}{c}+\frac{1}{b}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{e}+\frac{1}{d}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{d}+\frac{1}{a}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{f}+\frac{1}{c}\right) \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{e}=\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{f}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{e+b}{b e}=\frac{f+a}{a f}\)
\(\Rightarrow a f(e+b)=b e(f+a)\)
\(\Rightarrow a f(b+e)=b e(a+f) \)
\(\Rightarrow (a, b) R(e, f)\)
So, R is transitive.
Hence, R is an equivalence relation.
