  1. A injective and surjective.
  2. B neither injective nor surjective.
  3. C injective.
  4. D surjective.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) neither injective nor surjective.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}: \mathrm{R} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}, \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=|\mathrm{x}| \\ & \because \mathrm{f}(-1)=\mathrm{f}(1)=1\end{aligned}\)
i.e. not injection
and range of \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})\) is \([0, \infty]\)
Hence, not surjection
