  1. A one-one but not onto
  2. B onto but not one-one
  3. C 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

For \(x_1 = 1.5, x_2 = 1.7\), \(f(x_1) = [1.5] = 1\) and \(f(x_2) = [1.7] = 1\). Since \(f(x_1) = f(x_2)\) but \(x_1 \ne x_2\), \(f(x)\) is not one-one. The range of \(f(x) = [x]\) is the set of integers (\(Z\)), while the codomain is the set of real numbers (\(R\)). Since…
