NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 1 Relations And Functions · Exercise 1.2 Question 6

Let A={1,2,3}, B={4,5,6,7}, and f={(1,4),(2,5),(3,6)}. Show that f:A→B is one-one.

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Compare the outputs attached to the three domain elements.
  2. Separate the one-one and onto claims. For onto, ensure each inverse candidate lies in the allowed domain.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: f is injective.
  1. The distinct domain inputs 1,2,3 have outputs 4,5,6 respectively.
  2. These three outputs are pairwise distinct. Thus f(a)=f(b) forces a=b for a,b∈A.
  3. Therefore f is one-one. The unused codomain element 7 concerns onto, not injectivity.
