  1. A one-one only
  2. B onto only
  3. C both one-one and onto
  4. D neither one-one nor onto
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) neither one-one nor onto

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ \begin{array}{lrlrl} & & f(x) & =|x| \\ \text { Now, } & f(1) & =|1|=1 \\ \text { and } & f(-1) & =|-1|=1 \\ & \therefore & f(1) & =f(-1) \text { but } 1 \neq-1 \end{array} \] So, \(f(x)\) is not one-one. Again, \(|x| \geq 0, \forall x \in R\) So, range of…
