Question 6

MCQMEDIUM

Let N\mathbb{N} denote the set of all natural numbers, and Z\mathbb{Z} denote the set of all integers. Consider the functions f:N→Zf: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{Z} and g:Z→Ng: \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{N} defined by f(n)={(n+1)/2if n is odd(4−n)/2if n is evenf(n) = \begin{cases} (n + 1)/2 & \text{if } n \text{ is odd} \\ (4 - n)/2 & \text{if } n \text{ is even} \end{cases} and g(n)={3+2nif n≥0−2nif n<0g(n) = \begin{cases} 3 + 2n & \text{if } n \geq 0 \\ -2n & \text{if } n < 0 \end{cases} Define (g∘f)(n)=g(f(n))(g \circ f)(n) = g(f(n)) for all n∈Nn \in \mathbb{N}, and (f∘g)(n)=f(g(n))(f \circ g)(n) = f(g(n)) for all n∈Zn \in \mathbb{Z}. Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?

(A)

g∘fg \circ f is NOT one-one and g∘fg \circ f is NOT onto

(B)

f∘gf \circ g is NOT one-one but f∘gf \circ g is onto

(C)

gg is one-one and gg is onto

(D)

ff is NOT one-one but ff is onto
