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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Onto function but not one-one

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow\left[\frac{5}{2}, \infty\right), f(x)=|2 x+1|+|x-2|\) \(\rightarrow f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lc}-3 x+1, & x \lt \frac{-1}{2} \\ x+3, & \frac{-1}{2} \lt x \lt 2 \\ 3 x-1, & x\gt2\end{array}\right.\) Clearly, any horizontal line will cut the graph…
