Q62 / 180 · COMEDK 2016 · Mathematics

The function $f: X \rightarrow Y$ defined by $f(x)=\sin x$ is one-one but not onto if $X$ and $Y$ are respectively, is equal to

  • A
    $\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$ and $[-1,1]$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$ and $[-, 1,1]$
  • C
    $[0, \pi]$ and $[0,1]$
  • D
    $R$ and $R$

Solution

We have, $f: X \rightarrow Y$ $X:$ domain and $Y$ : codomain In one-one function, $x_{1} \neq x_{2}$ $f\left(x_{1}\right) \neq f\left(x_{2}\right)$ In onto function, Range $=$ domain . $f(x)=\sin x$ So, if $X=\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$ and $Y=[-1,1]$ For each value of $x \in X$ and range $=[0,1]$, there exists a unique value for $y \in Y$ Hence, function is one-one but not onto.

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