Functions Question 1:
In how many ways we can assign five employees to 4 projects so that every employee is assigned to only one project and every project is assigned by at least one employee?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
If A = m and B = n, then number of onto functions possible from A to B is
nm – nC1(n - 1)m + nC2(n-2)m – nC3(n-3)m+…………(-1)n-1 nCn-1(1)m
Explanation:
Here m = 5 and n = 4
Required number of ways = 45 – 4C1(3)5 + 4C2(2)5 – 4C3(1)5 + 0
= 1024 – 243 × 4 + 6 × 32 – 4
= 1024 – 972 + 192 – 4
= 240Functions Question 2:
A function f: N+ → N+, defined on the set of positive integers N+, satisfies the following properties:
f(n) = f(n/2) if n is even
f(n) = f(n + 5) if n is odd
Let R = {i | ∃ j: f(j) = i} be the set of distinct values that f takes. The maximum possible size of R is _______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 2
Functions Question 2 Detailed Solution
Let f(1) = a
Given:
f(n) = f(n/2) if n is even
f(n) = f(n + 5) if n is odd
Now, f (2) = f (2/2) = f(1) = a [Because 2 is even]
For n = 3; 3 is odd
f(3) = f (3 + 5) = f (8) = f(8/2) = f(4) = f(4/2) = f (2) = f(2/2) = f(1) = a
For n = 4; 4 is even
f(4) = f (4/2) = f(2) = f(2/2) = f(1) = a;
For n = 5, 5 is odd
f(5) = f(5 + 5) = f(10) = f(10/2) =f(5) = f(5 + 5) = f(10) = f(10/2) = f(5) = b [As f(5) is repeating ,let f(5) = b]
for n= 6
f(6) = f(6/2) = f(3) = x
So, there are two values only a and b. All multiples of 5 are b and others have value a.
So, the maximum possible size of R is 2.
Functions Question 3:
If N2 = N × N, N is set of natural numbers and R is relation on N2, s.t. RC N2 × N2 i.e.
(A) Reflexive
(B) Symmetric
(C) Transitive
(D) Assymmetric
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions Question 3 Detailed Solution
The correct answer is (A), (B) and (C) Only
EXPLANATION:
The properties of the relation R defined as R ↔ xv = yu.
- (A) Reflexive:
- For a relation to be reflexive, (a, a) must be in the relation for every element a in the set.
- In this case, we have x = u and y = v. So, (u, u) and (v, v) must be in the relation.
- Since N is the set of natural numbers, for any natural number u or v, (u, u) and (v, v) are in the relation. Therefore, the relation is reflexive.
- (B) Symmetric:
- For a relation to be symmetric, if (a, b) is in the relation, then (b, a) must also be in the relation for every pair (a, b). In this case, (x, y) is in the relation if and only if (y, x) is in the relation, as xv = yu implies yu = xv. Therefore, the relation is symmetric.
- (C) Transitive:
- For a relation to be transitive, if (a, b) and (b, c) are in the relation, then (a, c) must also be in the relation for every triplet (a, b, c). In this case, if xv = yu and yw = zv, then multiplying these equations gives xw = zu, which implies (x, w) is in the relation. Therefore, the relation is transitive.
- (D) Asymmetric:
- For a relation to be asymmetric, if (a, b) is in the relation, then (b, a) must not be in the relation for any pair (a, b). In this case, since (x, y) is in the relation if and only if (y, x) is also in the relation, the relation cannot be asymmetric.
Based on the analysis: The correct answer is: 4) (A), (B) and (C) Only
Functions Question 4:
A function f(x) is defined in the following way:
f(x) = -x, x ≤ 0
= x, 0 < x < 1
= 2 - x, x ≥ 1
In this case, the function f(x) is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The function is continuous if it satisfies the following conditions.
\(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{\rm{x}} \to {{\rm{b}}{( 0-)}}} {\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{\rm{x}} \to {{\rm{b}}{ (0-)}}} {\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) = {\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{b}} \right){\rm{}}\)
Otherwise, the function is not continuous at x = b
Analysis:
To check the continuity at x = 0 and x = 1,
at x = 0,
\(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{\rm{x}} \to {{\rm{0}}}} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{\rm{x}} \to {{\rm{0}}}}( -x)\)
= 0
at x = 0-,
f(x) = -x ; f(0-) = 0
at x = 0+,
f(x) = x ; f(0+) = 0
∵ Left-hand limit = Right-hand limit = Value of the function at the point.
∴ The function is continuous at x = 0
at x = 1,
\(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{{\rm{x}} \to {{\rm{1}}}} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{{\rm{x}} \to {{\rm{1}}}}(2 -x)\)
= 1
at x = 1-,
f(x) = x ; f(1-) = 1
at x = 1+,
f(x) = 2 - x ; f(1+) = 1
∵ Left-hand limit = Right-hand limit = Value of the function at the point.
∴ The function is continuous at x = 1
Important Points
The following properties are true in calculus:
- If a function is differentiable at any point, then it is necessarily continuous at the point.
- But the converse of this statement is not true i.e. continuity is a necessary but sufficient condition for the Existence of a finite derivative.
- Differentiability implies Continuity
- Continuity does not necessarily imply differentiability.
Functions Question 5:
A non-zero polynomial f(x) of degree 3 has roots at x = 1, x = 2 and x = 3. Which one of the following must be TRUE?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Concept:
If root of the function are a, b and c
then Polynomial function f(x) = (x - a)(x - b)(x - c)
Explanation:
Three roots are 1, 2 and 3
f(x) = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)
f(0) = -1 × -2 × -3 = -6
f(4) = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6
∴ f(0)× (4) = -6 × 6 = -36
Hence f(0) f(4) < 0
Functions Question 6:
If g(x) = 1 – x and \(h\left( x \right) = \frac{x}{{x - 1}},\;then\frac{{g\left( {h\left( x \right)} \right)}}{{h\left( {g\left( x \right)} \right)}}\;is:\)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions Question 6 Detailed Solution
Data:
g(x) = 1 – x
\(h\left( x \right) = \frac{x}{{x - 1}}\)
Calculation:
\(g\left( {h\left( x \right)} \right) = 1 - \;\frac{x}{{x - 1}} = \; - \frac{1}{{x - 1}}\)
\(h\left( {g\left( x \right)} \right) = \;\frac{{1 - x}}{{1 - x - 1}} = \frac{{1 - x}}{{ - x}}\;\)
\(\frac{{g\left( {h\left( x \right)} \right)}}{{h\left( {g\left( x \right)} \right)}} = \frac{{ - \frac{1}{{x - 1}}}}{{\frac{{\left( {1 - x} \right)}}{{ - x}}\;}} = \frac{{\frac{x}{{x - 1}}}}{{1 - x}}\; = \frac{{h\left( x \right)}}{{g\left( x \right)}}\)Functions Question 7:
Let X and Y denote the sets containing {a, b, c} and {0,1, 2, 3, …7} distinct objects respectively and G denote the set of all possible functions defined from set Y to set X. Let g be randomly selected function from G. What is the probability of g being onto is _____. (answer upto 3 decimal places)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 0.883 - 0.884
Functions Question 7 Detailed Solution
n(X) = 3
n(Y) = 8
Function from Y to X
Total number of function possible = n(X)n(Y) = 38 = 6561
Total number of onto function possible is
\({3^8}{ - ^3}{C_1}{\left( {3 - 1} \right)^8}{ + ^3}{C_2}{\left( {3 - 2} \right)^8} - {\;^3}{C_3}{\left( {3 - 3} \right)^8}\;\)
38 – 3 × 28 + 3 = 5796
the probability of g being one-to-one = \(\frac{{5796}}{{6561}} = 0.8834\;\)
Functions Question 8:
Consider the following statements regarding function f and g.
A) If \(gof\) is injective, then g is injective but f need not be.
B) If \(gof\) is surjective then both g and f are surjective.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions Question 8 Detailed Solution
Hence if \(gof\) is injective then \(f\) is injective but \(g\) need not to be.
Hence if \(gof\) is surjective then \(g\) has to be onto but \(f\) need not be.
Functions Question 9:
If a function 'f : A → B' is both injective (one-to-one) and surjective (onto), how is it classified?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions Question 9 Detailed Solution
Given:
The conditions for a certain type of function, namely that it is both injective and surjective.
Concept used:
A bijective function is a function that is both injective (one-to-one) and surjective (onto).
Injective means Every element of domain has a preimage in Codomain and it should be unique.
Surjective means No element of Codomain left without preimage
Calculation:
By the defination "f : A → B" is both injective (one-to-one) and surjective (onto) This type of function is classified as a "Bijective function".
Hence, Option D is correct
Functions Question 10:
What is the correct term for a function which maps a set to itself?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Functions Question 10 Detailed Solution
Given:
Our options represent various function types
Concept used:
A self-map, or endofunction, is a function whose domain is equal to its codomain.
Calculation:
Self Map having image equal to it pre image
Only option B aptly represents a function that maps to itself -- a Self-Map
Hence, Option B is Correct.
