If \(f: \mathbf{N} \times \mathbf{N} \rightarrow \mathbf{N}\) is defined by \(f((m, n))=2^{m-1}(2 n-1), \forall(m, n) \in \mathbf{N} \times \mathbf{N}\), then \(f\) is

  1. A One-one but not onto
  2. B Onto but not one-one
  3. C Neither one-one nor onto
  4. D Both one-one and onto
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Both one-one and onto

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given function \(f: \mathbf{N} \times \mathbf{N} \longrightarrow N\) is defined by \(f(m, n)=2^{m-1}(2 n-1), \forall(m, n) \in \mathbf{N} \times \mathbf{N}\). Now, let \(f((a, b))=f((c, d))\), where \(a, b, c, d \in \mathbf{N}\)…
