Let A and B be sets. Show that f : A × B → B × A such that f (a, b) = (b, a) is bijective function.
It is given that f : A × B → B × A is defined as f (a, b) = (b, a)
Now let us consider (a1, b1), (a2, b2) ϵ A × B
Such that f(a1, b1) = f(a2, b2)
⇒ (b1, a1) = (b2, a2)
⇒ b1 = b2 and a1 = a2
⇒ (a1, b1) = (a2, b2)
⇒ f is one-one.
Now, let (b, a) ϵ B × A be any element.
Then, there exists (a, b) ϵ A × B such that f(a, b) = (b, a)
⇒ f is onto.
Therefore, f is bijective.
