Given A = {2, 3, 4}, B = {2, 5, 6, 7}. Construct an example of each of the following:

(a) an injective mapping from A to B


(b) a mapping from A to B which is not injective


(c) a mapping from B to A.


Given that, A = {2, 3, 4}, B = {2, 5, 6, 7}


(a) an injective mapping from A to B


Let f : A B denote a mapping f = {(x,y) : y=2x }


Now, y = 2x


When x=2 we get y = 4


Similarly, x=3 and 4 will give y=6 and 8 respectively.


f = {(2,4),(3,6),(4,8)}


We observe that each element of A has unique image in B.


Thus, f is injective.


(b) a mapping from A to B which is not injective


Let g: A B denote a mapping such that g = {(2,2),(3,5),(4,2)}


We observe that 2 and 4 A does not have unique image.


Thus, g is not injective.


(c) a mapping from B to A.


Let h : B A denote a mapping such that


h = {(2,3),(5,2),(6,3),(7,4)}
