Let \(M\) be the set of all \(2 \times 2\) matrices with entries from the set R of real numbers. Then the function \(f: M \rightarrow R\) defined by \(f(A)=|A|\) for every \(A \in M\) is

  1. A one-one and onto
  2. B onto but not one-one
  3. C one-one but not onto
  4. D neither one-one nor onto
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) onto but not one-one

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The function \(f: M \rightarrow R\) is defined as \(f(A) = |A|\), where \(M\) is the set of all \(2 \times 2\) matrices with real entries and \(|A|\) denotes the determinant of matrix \(A\). To check if \(f\) is one-one, consider two distinct matrices…
