Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) onto but not one-to-one

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(f: Z \rightarrow Z, f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{x}{2}, \text { if } x \text { is even } \\ 0, \text { if } x \text { is odd }\end{array}\right.\) when \(x\) is odd, \(f(1)=f(3)=0\) \(\Rightarrow f(x)\) is not one-one function. when \(x\) is even i.e.,…
