Q6 of 107 Page 10

Let A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7} and let f = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)} be a function from A to B. Show that f is one-one.

It is given that A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7}

f: A → B is defined as f = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)}


Therefore, f(1) = 4, f(2) = 5, f(3) = 6


We can see that the images of distinct elements of A under f are distinct.


Therefore, function f is one- one.
