A function from the set of natural numbers to integers defined by is:

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

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

To check if the function is one-one:If is odd, let . Then . For , the values are .If is even, let . Then . For , the values are .Since the set of values for odd () and even () are disjoint and cover all integers, every integer is mapped to exactly one natural number.Therefore, the function is both one-one and onto (bijective).
