Q31 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (26 Feb Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let A=1,2,3,…,10 and f:A→A be defined as

fk=k+1if k isoddkif k iseven

Then the number of possible functions g:A→A such that gof=f is:

  • A
    C510
  • B
    55
  • C
    5!
  • Correct answer
    D
    105

Solution

fx=x+1if x isoddxif x iseven

∵ g:A→ A such that gfx=fx

⇒ If x is even then gx=x   …1

If x is odd then gx+1=x+1   …2

from 1 and 2 we can say that gx=x if x is even

⇒ If x is odd then gx can take any value in set A

so number of gx=105×1

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
