Functions

Statement I: $f(x)=\frac{x}{1+|x|}$ is one-one

To check if a function is one-one (injective), we can check its monotonicity (whether it's always increasing or always decreasing).

1. For $x \geq 0: f(x)=\frac{x}{1+x}$. The derivative is $f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{(1+x)^2}$, which is always positive.

2. For $x<0$ : $f(x)=\frac{x}{1-x}$. The derivative is $f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{(1-x)^2}$, which is also always positive.

Since the derivative is positive for all $x$ in the domain, the function is strictly increasing. A strictly monotonic function is always one-one.

Statement I is True.

Statement II: $f(x)=\frac{x^2+4 x-30}{x^2-8 x+18}$ is many-one

Discriminant of Denominator: For $x^2-8 x+18, D=(-8)^2-4(1)(18)=64- 72=-8$. Since $D<0$, the denominator is always positive and the function is continuous for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$.

Behavior at Infinity: As $x \rightarrow \infty$ and $x \rightarrow-\infty$, the value of $f(x)$ approaches 1 (the ratio of the leading coefficients).

Turning Points: Since the function starts near $y=1$ at $-\infty$, moves through various values, and returns toward $y=1$ at $+\infty$, it must have at least one local maximum or minimum. This means a horizontal line will intersect the graph at more than one point.

Also, let

$ y=\frac{x^2+4 x-30}{x^2-8 x+18} $

Cross multiply:

$ y\left(x^2-8 x+18\right)=x^2+4 x-30 $

Rearrange:

$ (y-1) x^2+(-8 y-4) x+(18 y+30)=0 $

This is a quadratic in $x$.

For many values of $y$, this quadratic has two distinct real solutions. Function is MANY-ONE

$ f(x)=\operatorname{Sgn}(\sin x)+\operatorname{Sgn}(\cos x)+\operatorname{Sgn}(\tan x)+\operatorname{Sgn}(\cot x) $

Since the trig functions change signs depending on which quadrant $x$ is in, we analyze the value of $f(x)$ quadrant by quadrant.

Given that $x \neq \frac{n \pi}{2}$, we don't have to worry about any of these terms being zero. Each Sgn term will simply be either 1 (if positive) or -1 (if negative).

Range of $f(x)$ :

From table, Range $=\{-2,0,4\}$

Sum of all elements in this range $=4+(-2)+0=2$

Given

$g(x)=3 x^2+2 x-3, f(0)=-3$, and $4 g(f(x))=3 x^2-32 x+72$

Since $g(x)$ is a quadratic function (degree 2) and the composite function $4 g(f(x))$ is also a quadratic expression $\left(3 x^2-32 x+72\right)$, $f(x)$ must be a linear function.

• Let $f(x)=a x+b$.

• Using $f(0)=-3: a(0)+b=-3 \Longrightarrow b=-3$.

• So, $f(x)=a x-3$.

First, find $g(f(x))$ by substituting $f(x)$ into $g(x)$ :

$ g(f(x))=3(f(x))^2+2 f(x)-3 $

Substitute this into the given equation $4 g(f(x))=3 x^2-32 x+72$ :

$ 4\left[3(a x-3)^2+2(a x-3)-3\right]=3 x^2-32 x+72 $

Solve for the Coefficient ' $a$ '

Expand the left side of the equation:

• $4\left[3\left(a^2 x^2-6 a x+9\right)+2 a x-6-3\right]=3 x^2-32 x+72$

• $4\left[3 a^2 x^2-18 a x+27+2 a x-9\right]=3 x^2-32 x+72$

• $4\left[3 a^2 x^2-16 a x+18\right]=3 x^2-32 x+72$

• $12 a^2 x^2-64 a x+72=3 x^2-32 x+72$

Compare the coefficients:

• For $x^2: 12 a^2=3 \Longrightarrow a^2=\frac{1}{4} \Longrightarrow a= \pm \frac{1}{2}$

• For $x$ : $-64 a=-32 \Longrightarrow a=\frac{32}{64}=\frac{1}{2}$ Thus, $f(x)=\frac{1}{2} x-3$. Calculate $f(g(2))$

Find $g(2)$

$ g(2)=3(2)^2+2(2)-3=12+4-3=13 $

Step B: Find $f(g(2))$ which is $f(13)$

$ \begin{aligned} &f(13)=\frac{1}{2}(13)-3=6.5-3=3.5=\frac{7}{2} \end{aligned} $

Given $m=\sum_{i=1}^9(i)^2=1^2+2^2+\cdots 9$

We know, $1^2+2^2+3^2+\cdots n^2=\frac{n(n+1)(2 n+1)}{6}$

so, $m=\frac{9 \times 10 \times 19}{6}=3 \times 5 \times 19=285$

Given equation

$ 3 f(x)+2 f\left(\frac{m}{19 x}\right)=5 x, x \neq 0 $

put $\mathrm{m}=285,3 f(x)+2 f\left(\frac{285}{19 x}\right)=5 x$

$ 3 f(x)+2 f\left(\frac{15}{x}\right)=5 x-(1) $

put $x=\frac{15}{x}$

$ \begin{aligned} & 3 f\left(\frac{15}{x}\right)+2 f\left(\frac{15}{15 / x}\right)=5 \times \frac{15}{x} \\ & 3 f\left(\frac{15}{x}\right)+2 f(x)=\frac{75}{x}-(2) \end{aligned} $

from (1) $f\left(\frac{15}{x}\right)=\frac{5 x-3 f(x)}{2}$ substitute in equation (2)

$ \begin{aligned} & 3\left[\frac{5 x-3 f(x)}{2}\right]+2 f(x)=\frac{75}{x} \\ & 15 x-9 f(x)+4 f(x)=\frac{150}{x} \\ & 5 f(x)=15 x-\frac{150}{x} \\ & f(x)=3 x-\frac{30}{x} \end{aligned} $

to find $f(5)-f(2)$

$ \begin{aligned} & f(5)-f(2)=\left(3(5)-\frac{30}{5}\right)-\left(3 \times 2-\frac{30}{2}\right) \\ & =(15-6)-(6-15) \end{aligned} $

= $9-(-9)=18$

$ \begin{aligned} & \text { (3) } \Rightarrow f(x)=0 \Rightarrow[x]=3 \text { or }[x]=-2 \\ & \Rightarrow x \in[3,4) \cup[-2,-1) \Rightarrow f(x)=0 \text { has infinite solutions } \\ & f(x)=[x]^2-[x+3]-3 \\ & =\left[x^2\right]-[x]-6=([x]-3)([x]+2) \end{aligned} $

$ \begin{aligned} & (2) \Rightarrow \int_0^2 f(x) d x=\int_0^2\left([x]^2-[x]-6\right) d x \\ & \int_0^2 f(x) d x=\int_0^2\left([x]^2-[x]-6\right) d x=\int_0^2\left([x]^2-[x]\right) d x-12=-12 \\ & (4) \Rightarrow f(x)<0 \Rightarrow([x]-3)([x]+2)<0 \Rightarrow-2<[x]<3 \Rightarrow-1 \leq[x]<3 \\ & (1) \Rightarrow f(x)>0 \Rightarrow[x]<-2 \text { or }[x]>3 \Rightarrow x<-2 \text { or } x \geq 4 \Rightarrow x \in(-x,-2) 0[4, \infty] \end{aligned} $

$ \begin{aligned} & \text { let } x^2-10 x+85=\lambda \\ & \therefore \text { Domain for first term } \lambda>0 \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots .(1) \\ & \& 7-\log _2 \lambda > 0 \Rightarrow \lambda < 2^7 \ldots \ldots \ldots .(2) \\ & \& \log _5\left(7-\log _2 \lambda\right) > 0 \Rightarrow \lambda < 2^6 \ldots \ldots . .(3) \\ & \therefore \text { from }(1),(2) \&(3) \\ & 0 < \lambda < 2^6 \\ & 0 < x^2-10 x+85 < 64 \Rightarrow x \in(3,7) \ldots \ldots . .(A) \\ & \& \text { domain for second term }-1 \leq \frac{3 x-7}{x-17} \leq 1 \Rightarrow x \in[-5,6] \ldots \ldots \ldots . . \end{aligned} $

From (A) \& (B), domain of function will be ( 3,6 ]

$ \Rightarrow \alpha=3, \beta=6 \Rightarrow \alpha+\beta=9 $

$ \begin{aligned} & f(x+y)=f(x) \cdot f(y) \Rightarrow f(x)=a^x \\ & \left(\because f(1)=7 \Rightarrow a^1=7\right) \end{aligned} $

So $f(x)=7^x$

Now

$ g(x+y)=g(x y)(\text { put } y=1) \Rightarrow g(x+1)=g(x) $

So $g(1)=g(2)=g(3)=\ldots \ldots \ldots=g(n)=1$

$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Given } \sum_{x=1}^n \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=19607 \\ & \sum_{x=1}^n \frac{7^x}{1}=19607 \Rightarrow 7\left(\frac{7^n-1}{7-1}\right)=19607 \\ & 7^n-1=\frac{6}{7} \times 19607 \\ & 7^n=16807 \Rightarrow n=5 \end{aligned} $

$ \begin{aligned} & f(x)=\sin ^{-1}\left[\frac{5-x}{3+2 x}\right]+\frac{1}{\log _e(10-x)} \\ & -1 \leq \frac{5-x}{3+2 x} \leq 1 \\ & \frac{2-3 x}{3+2 x} \leq 0 \\ & (3 x-2)(2 x+3) \geq 0 \\ & (3 x-2)(2 x+3) \geq 0 x \in\left(-\infty,-\frac{3}{2}\right] \cup\left[\frac{2}{3}, \infty\right) \\ & \frac{8+x}{3+2 x} \geq 0 \\ & x \in(-\infty,-8] \cup\left[\frac{-3}{2}, \infty\right) \\ & x \in(-\infty,-8] \cup\left[\frac{2}{3}, 10\right)-\{9\}=6(\alpha+\beta+\gamma+\delta)=70 \end{aligned} $

To determine the nature of the given function, let us carefully analyze it for both the one-one (injective) and onto (surjective) properties. The function is given by:

$f(x)=\frac{2 x^2-3 x+2}{3 x^2+x+3}$

where the domain is the set of real numbers $\mathbf{R}$ and the codomain is also $\mathbf{R}$.

Checking if the function is one-one

A function $f: \mathbf{R} \rightarrow \mathbf{R}$ is said to be one-one if every element in the domain has a distinct image in the codomain. That is, if $f(x_1) = f(x_2)$, then we must have $x_1 = x_2$.

Let us check if we can find two different real values of $x$ that give the same value for $f(x)$. Let us set $f(x) = 1$ and solve for $x$:

$\frac{2 x^2-3 x+2}{3 x^2+x+3} = 1$

Cross-multiplying, we obtain:

$2 x^2-3 x+2 = 3 x^2+x+3$

Bringing all terms to one side, we get:

$x^2 + 4x + 1 = 0$

Using the quadratic formula to find the roots:

$x = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{16 - 4(1)(1)}}{2} = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{12}}{2} = -2 \pm \sqrt{3}$

Since we found two distinct real values, $x_1 = -2 + \sqrt{3}$ and $x_2 = -2 - \sqrt{3}$, such that $f(x_1) = f(x_2) = 1$, the function is not one-one.

Checking if the function is onto

A function is onto if its range is equal to its codomain. Here, the codomain is $\mathbf{R}$. To find the range, let us set $f(x) = y$:

$y = \frac{2 x^2-3 x+2}{3 x^2+x+3}$

Cross-multiplying gives us:

$y(3x^2 + x + 3) = 2x^2 - 3x + 2$

$3yx^2 + yx + 3y = 2x^2 - 3x + 2$

Grouping the terms by the powers of $x$, we form a quadratic equation in $x$:

$(3y - 2)x^2 + (y + 3)x + (3y - 2) = 0$

Since $x$ is a real number, the discriminant ($D$) of this quadratic equation must be greater than or equal to zero ($D \geq 0$).

$D = (y + 3)^2 - 4(3y - 2)(3y - 2) \geq 0$

$(y + 3)^2 - 4(3y - 2)^2 \geq 0$

This is in the form of $a^2 - b^2 \geq 0$, which can be factored as $(a-b)(a+b) \geq 0$. Here, $a = y+3$ and $b = 2(3y-2) = 6y-4$:

$[(y + 3) - (6y - 4)][(y + 3) + (6y - 4)] \geq 0$

$(-5y + 7)(7y - 1) \geq 0$

To solve this inequality, we can multiply by $-1$ (which reverses the inequality sign):

$(5y - 7)(7y - 1) \leq 0$

The critical points are $y = \frac{1}{7}$ and $y = \frac{7}{5}$. Based on the inequality, $y$ must lie between these two values:

$\frac{1}{7} \leq y \leq \frac{7}{5}$

This means the range of the function is the closed interval $\left[ \frac{1}{7}, \frac{7}{5} \right]$.

Because the range is a small subset of the real numbers and not equal to the entire codomain $\mathbf{R}$, the function is not onto.

Conclusion:

Since $f(x)$ is neither one-one nor onto, the correct statement is given by Option D.

Option D

For the function

$ f(x)=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x+[x]}{3}\right), $

the expression inside $\sin^{-1}$ must lie between $-1$ and $1$.

So, we need

$ -1 \le \frac{x+[x]}{3} \le 1 $

Multiplying throughout by $3$,

$ -3 \le x+[x] \le 3 $

Now let

$ [x]=n $

Then by definition of greatest integer function,

$ n \le x < n+1 $

and so

$ x+[x]=x+n $

Hence the condition becomes

$ -3 \le x+n \le 3 $

But since $x \in [n,n+1)$, let us check possible integer values of $n$.

Case 1: $n=-2$

Then

$ x \in [-2,-1) $

and

$ x+[x]=x-2 $

Since $x \in [-2,-1)$,

$ x-2 \in [-4,-3) $

This does not satisfy $-3 \le x+[x]$ except at $x=-1$, but $-1 \notin [-2,-1)$.

So no value from this interval is allowed.

Case 2: $n=-1$

Then

$ x \in [-1,0) $

and

$ x+[x]=x-1 $

So

$ x-1 \in [-2,-1) $

This lies completely within $[-3,3]$.

Hence all $x \in [-1,0)$ are allowed.

Case 3: $n=0$

Then

$ x \in [0,1) $

and

$ x+[x]=x $

So

$ x \in [0,1) $

This also lies within $[-3,3]$.

Hence all $x \in [0,1)$ are allowed.

Case 4: $n=1$

Then

$ x \in [1,2) $

and

$ x+[x]=x+1 $

So

$ x+1 \in [2,3) $

This lies within $[-3,3]$.

Hence all $x \in [1,2)$ are allowed.

Case 5: $n=2$

Then

$ x \in [2,3) $

and

$ x+[x]=x+2 $

So

$ x+2 \in [4,5) $

This exceeds $3$, so no value is allowed.

Now let us also check the boundary points:

• At $x=-\dfrac{3}{2}$, actually $[x]=-2$, so this does not help.

• Better to solve more carefully near the ends.

We want the full set of $x$ satisfying

$ -3 \le x+[x] \le 3 $

Let $x \in [n,n+1)$, so $[x]=n$.

Then

$ -3 \le x+n \le 3 $

which gives

$ -3-n \le x \le 3-n $

Together with $n \le x < n+1$, we need intersection of

$ [n,n+1) \cap [-3-n,\,3-n]. $

Now check relevant integers:

For $n=-2$

$ x \in [-2,-1) \cap [-1,5] = \{-1\} $

but $-1$ is not included in $[-2,-1)$, so no solution.

For $n=-1$

$ x \in [-1,0) \cap [-2,4] = [-1,0) $

For $n=0$

$ x \in [0,1) \cap [-3,3] = [0,1) $

For $n=1$

$ x \in [1,2) \cap [-4,2] = [1,2) $

For $n=2$

$ x \in [2,3) \cap [-5,1] = \varnothing $

Thus domain is

$ [-1,0)\cup [0,1)\cup [1,2)=[-1,2) $

So,

$ \alpha=-1,\qquad \beta=2 $

Therefore,

$ \alpha^2+\beta^2=(-1)^2+2^2=1+4=5 $

Hence the correct answer is

$ \boxed{5} $

So, Option B is correct.

For

$ f:[1,\infty)\to [1,\infty),\qquad f(x)=(x-1)^4+1, $

we first find the inverse function.

Since for $x\ge 1$, the function $(x-1)^4+1$ is strictly increasing, $f$ is one-one and onto from $[1,\infty)$ to $[1,\infty)$.

Let

$ y=(x-1)^4+1. $

Then

$ y-1=(x-1)^4. $

Since $x\ge 1$, we take the positive fourth root:

$ x-1=(y-1)^{1/4}. $

Hence

$ f^{-1}(y)=1+(y-1)^{1/4}. $

So

$ f^{-1}(x)=1+(x-1)^{1/4}. $

Now check the two statements one by one.

Statement (I)

We need to solve

$ f(x)=f^{-1}(x). $

That is,

$ (x-1)^4+1=1+(x-1)^{1/4}. $

So

$ (x-1)^4=(x-1)^{1/4}. $

Put

$ t=x-1 \quad \text{where } t\ge 0. $

Then the equation becomes

$ t^4=t^{1/4}. $

Now solve:

$ t^4-t^{1/4}=0. $

This gives

$ t^{1/4}\left(t^{15/4}-1\right)=0. $

Hence

$ t=0 \quad \text{or} \quad t^{15/4}=1. $

Since $t\ge 0$, from $t^{15/4}=1$ we get

$ t=1. $

Therefore

$ x-1=0 \Rightarrow x=1, $

or

$ x-1=1 \Rightarrow x=2. $

So the set

$ S=\{x\in[1,\infty): f(x)=f^{-1}(x)\} $

contains exactly two elements:

$ S=\{1,2\}. $

Thus, Statement (I) is TRUE.

Statement (II)

We need to solve

$ f(x)=f^{-1}(x+1). $

Now

$ f(x)=(x-1)^4+1, $

and

$ f^{-1}(x+1)=1+\big((x+1)-1\big)^{1/4}=1+x^{1/4}. $

So the equation becomes

$ (x-1)^4+1=1+x^{1/4}. $

Hence

$ (x-1)^4=x^{1/4}. $

Again put

$ t=x^{1/4}, \quad t\ge 1 \text{ since } x\ge 1. $

Then

$ x=t^4. $

So the equation becomes

$ (t^4-1)^4=t. $

Instead of solving this directly, test simple values.

For $x=1$:

$ f(1)=(1-1)^4+1=1, $

and

$ f^{-1}(1+1)=f^{-1}(2)=1+(2-1)^{1/4}=2. $

So $x=1$ is not a solution.

For $x=2$:

$ f(2)=(2-1)^4+1=2, $

and

$ f^{-1}(2+1)=f^{-1}(3)=1+(3-1)^{1/4}=1+2^{1/4}\neq 2. $

So $x=2$ is not a solution.

Now define

$ g(x)=(x-1)^4-x^{1/4}, \qquad x\ge 1. $

We need to check whether $g(x)=0$ has any solution.

Observe:

$ g(1)=0-1=-1<0, $

and

$ g(2)=1-2^{1/4}<0, $

while

$ g(3)=16-3^{1/4}>0. $

Since $g$ is continuous, there is at least one root in $(2,3)$.

So the set

$ S=\{x\in[1,\infty): f(x)=f^{-1}(x+1)\} $

is not empty.

Thus, Statement (II) is FALSE.

Therefore, the correct option is

$ \boxed{\text{Option A: only (I) is TRUE}} $

Given

$ f(x+y)=f(x)+2y^2+y+\alpha xy \quad \text{for all } x,y\in \mathbb{R} $

with

$ f(0)=-1,\qquad f(1)=2. $

We have to find

$ \sum_{n=1}^5 (\alpha+f(n)). $

Step 1: Use the given relation to find $\alpha$

Put $x=0$ in

$ f(x+y)=f(x)+2y^2+y+\alpha xy. $

Then

$ f(y)=f(0)+2y^2+y+\alpha\cdot 0\cdot y $

so

$ f(y)=-1+2y^2+y. $

Thus, for every real $y$,

$ f(y)=2y^2+y-1. $

Now use $f(1)=2$:

$ f(1)=2(1)^2+1-1=2. $

This is already satisfied, so now we must use the original equation to determine $\alpha$.

Substitute

$ f(x+y)=2(x+y)^2+(x+y)-1 $

and

$ f(x)=2x^2+x-1 $

into the given equation:

$ 2(x+y)^2+(x+y)-1 = 2x^2+x-1+2y^2+y+\alpha xy. $

Expand the left side:

$ 2x^2+4xy+2y^2+x+y-1. $

Right side is:

$ 2x^2+x-1+2y^2+y+\alpha xy. $

Comparing both sides,

$ 4xy=\alpha xy. $

Hence,

$ \alpha=4. $

Step 2: Find $f(n)$ for $n=1$ to $5$

Since

$ f(n)=2n^2+n-1, $

we get:

$ f(1)=2(1)^2+1-1=2 $

$ f(2)=2(2)^2+2-1=8+2-1=9 $

$ f(3)=2(3)^2+3-1=18+3-1=20 $

$ f(4)=2(4)^2+4-1=32+4-1=35 $

$ f(5)=2(5)^2+5-1=50+5-1=54 $

Step 3: Compute the required sum

We need

$ \sum_{n=1}^5 (\alpha+f(n)). $

Since $\alpha=4$,

$ \alpha+f(1)=4+2=6 $

$ \alpha+f(2)=4+9=13 $

$ \alpha+f(3)=4+20=24 $

$ \alpha+f(4)=4+35=39 $

$ \alpha+f(5)=4+54=58 $

Therefore,

$ 6+13+24+39+58=140. $

So the required value is

$ \boxed{140}. $

Hence, the correct option is B.

For the function

$ f(x)=\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{4x+2[x]}{3}\right), $

the expression inside $\cos^{-1}$ must lie between $-1$ and $1$.

So, for domain:

$ -1 \le \frac{4x+2[x]}{3} \le 1 $

Multiplying by $3$:

$ -3 \le 4x+2[x] \le 3 $

Now let

$ [x]=n $

where $n$ is an integer and

$ n \le x < n+1. $

Then the inequality becomes

$ -3 \le 4x+2n \le 3. $

Subtracting $2n$:

$ -3-2n \le 4x \le 3-2n $

Dividing by $4$:

$ \frac{-3-2n}{4} \le x \le \frac{3-2n}{4} $

But also,

$ n \le x < n+1. $

So we find possible integer values of $n$ for which these intervals overlap.

Case 1: $n=-1$

Then

$ [x]=-1,\quad -1 \le x < 0 $

and

$ \frac{-3-2(-1)}{4} \le x \le \frac{3-2(-1)}{4} $

$ \frac{-1}{4} \le x \le \frac{5}{4} $

Intersection with $[-1,0)$ gives

$ -\frac14 \le x < 0. $

Case 2: $n=0$

Then

$ 0 \le x < 1 $

and

$ \frac{-3}{4} \le x \le \frac{3}{4} $

Intersection gives

$ 0 \le x \le \frac34. $

Case 3: $n=-2$

Then

$ -2 \le x < -1 $

and

$ \frac{-3-2(-2)}{4} \le x \le \frac{3-2(-2)}{4} $

$ \frac14 \le x \le \frac74 $

No intersection.

Case 4: $n=1$

Then

$ 1 \le x < 2 $

and

$ \frac{-5}{4} \le x \le \frac14 $

No intersection.

So the domain is

$ \left[-\frac14,0\right)\cup\left[0,\frac34\right] = \left[-\frac14,\frac34\right]. $

Thus,

$ \alpha=-\frac14,\quad \beta=\frac34. $

Therefore,

$ \alpha+\beta=\frac12 $

and

$ 12(\alpha+\beta)=12\cdot \frac12=6. $

Hence the correct answer is

$ \boxed{6} $

So, Option A is correct.

Total number of functions from $\{1,2,3,4\}$ to $\{a,b,c\}$ is

$ 3^4=81 $

Now we find the number of onto functions.

For a function to be onto, all the three elements $a,b,c$ must appear as images of elements of $\{1,2,3,4\}$.

Using inclusion-exclusion principle:

• Total functions: $3^4=81$

Let

• $A$ = functions missing $a$

• $B$ = functions missing $b$

• $C$ = functions missing $c$

If one element is missing, then the function goes into only $2$ elements.

So,

$ |A|=|B|=|C|=2^4=16 $

Hence,

$ |A|+|B|+|C|=3\times 16=48 $

If two elements are missing, then all $4$ elements of domain must go to only one element of codomain.

So,

$ |A\cap B|=|B\cap C|=|C\cap A|=1^4=1 $

Thus,

$ |A\cap B|+|B\cap C|+|C\cap A|=3 $

If all three are missing, that is impossible, so

$ |A\cap B\cap C|=0 $

Therefore, number of functions which are not onto is

$ |A\cup B\cup C|=48-3=45 $

So the correct answer is

$ \boxed{45} $

Hence, Option B is correct.

$\begin{aligned} & y=\frac{5-x}{x^2-3 x+2} \\ & y x^2-3 x y+2 y+x-5=0 \\ & y z^2+(-3 y+1) x+(2 y-5)=0 \end{aligned}$

Case I : If $y=0$ (Accepted)

$\Rightarrow x=5$

Case II : If $y \neq 0$

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{D} \geq 0 \\ & (-3 y+1)^2-4(y)(2 y-5) \geq 0 \\ & 9 y^2+1-6 y-8 y^2+20 y \geq 0 \\ & y^2+14 y+1 \geq 0 \\ & (y+7)^2-48 \geq 0 \\ & |y+7| \geq 4 \sqrt{3} \\ & \Rightarrow y+7 \geq 4 \sqrt{3} \text { or } \mathrm{y}+7 \leq-4 \sqrt{3} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{y} \geq 4 \sqrt{3}-7 \text { or } \mathrm{y} \leq-4 \sqrt{3}-7 \end{aligned}$

From Case I and Case II

$y \in(-\infty,-4 \sqrt{3}-7] \cup[4 \sqrt{3}-7, \infty)$

$\begin{aligned} & \text { So } \alpha=-4 \sqrt{3}-7 \\ & \quad \beta=4 \sqrt{3}-7 \\ & \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow a^2+b^2 & =(-4 \sqrt{3}-7)^2+(4 \sqrt{3}-7)^2 \\ & =2(48+49) \\ & =194 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & x=\frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{2044}}{2} \quad\text{.....

$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow\left(x-\left(\frac{-4+\sqrt{1020}}{2}\right)\right)\left(x-\left(\frac{-4-\sqrt{1020}}{2}\right)\right)<0\\ &\therefore \text { Intersection of (1), (2) and (3) } \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore x \in(-3,-1) \\ & -1 \leq \frac{7 x+10}{x-2} \leq 1 \\ & \Rightarrow x \in[-2,-1] \\ & \therefore \alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2+\delta^2=(-3)^2+(-1)^2+(-2)^{-2}+(-1)^2 \\ & =9+1+4+1 \\ & =15 \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & g(2)=4, g(4)=\frac{10}{3} \\ & f \text { is decreasing in }\left(\frac{10}{3}, 4\right) \\ & \therefore \quad \alpha=f(4)=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \beta=f\left(\frac{10}{3}\right)=\frac{29}{56} \\ & \frac{1}{\beta-\alpha}=\frac{1}{\frac{29}{56}-\frac{1}{2}}=56 \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{3 x+4-2+x}{x-2} \geq 0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{4 x+2}{x-2} \geq 0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x \in\left(-\infty,-\frac{1}{2}\right] \cup(2, \infty)........(ii)\end{aligned}$

$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{3 x+4}{2-x} \geq-1 \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{3 x+4}{2-x}+1 \geq 0 \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{3 x+4+2-x}{2-x} \geq 0 \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{2 x+6}{x-2} \leq 0 \\ \therefore & x \in[-3,2)........(iii) \end{aligned} $

Taking intersection of (i), (ii) and (iii)

$ \begin{aligned} & x \in\left[-3,-\frac{5}{4}\right) \\ & \alpha=-3, \beta=-\frac{5}{4} \\ & \alpha^2+4 \beta=4 \end{aligned} $

$x+|x|= \begin{cases}2 x, & x \geq 0 \\ 0, & x<0\end{cases}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+|x|}}$, domain is $x>0$, as $2 x \neq 0$

Similarly,

$\begin{aligned} &\frac{1}{\sqrt{3 x+10-x^2}} \text { is defined when } 3 x+10-x^2>0\\ &\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & x^2-3 x-10<0 \\ & (x-5)(x+2)<0 \\ \Rightarrow & x \in(-2,5) \\ \Rightarrow & \text { Domain will be }(0, \infty) \cap(-2,5)=(0,5) \\ \Rightarrow & (1+a)^2+b^2=1+25=26 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & f_1(x)=\log _5\left(18 x-x^2-77\right) \\ & \therefore 18 x-x^2-77>0 \\ & \quad x^2-18 x+77<0 \\ & \quad x \in(7,11) \alpha=7, \beta=11 \\ & f_2(x)=\log _{(x-1)}\left(\frac{2 x^2+3 x-2}{x^2-3 x-4}\right) \\ & \therefore \quad x-1>0, x-1 \neq 1, \frac{2 x^2+3 x-2}{x^2-3 x-4}>0 \\ & \quad x>1, x \neq 2, \frac{(2 x-1)(x+2)}{(x-4)(x+1)}>0 \\ & \quad x>1, x \neq 2, \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad x \in(4, \infty) \\ & \therefore \gamma=4 \\ & \therefore \alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2=49+121+16 \\ & =186 \end{aligned}$

as $f(x)$ is onto hence $A$ is range of $f(x)$

$\text { now } \begin{aligned} f^{\prime}(x) & =6 x^2-30 x+36 \\ & =6(x-2)(x-3) \end{aligned}$

$f(2)=16-60+72+7=35$

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}(3)=54-135+108+7=34 \\ & \mathrm{f}(0)=7 \end{aligned}$

hence range $\in[7,35]=\mathrm{A}$

also for range of $g(x)$

$\begin{aligned} & g(x)=1-\frac{1}{x^{2025}+1} \in[0,1)=B \\ & s=\{0,7,8, \ldots . .35\} \text { hence } n(s)=30 \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=\frac{2^x}{2^x+\sqrt{2}} \\ & f(x)+f(1-x)=\frac{2^x}{2^x+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{2^{1-x}}{2^{1-x}+\sqrt{2}} \\ & =\frac{2^x}{2^x+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{2}{2+\sqrt{2} 2^x}=\frac{2^x+\sqrt{2}}{2^x+\sqrt{2}}=1 \end{aligned}$

$\begin{array}{r} \text { Now, } \sum_{\mathrm{k}=1}^{81} \mathrm{f}\left(\frac{\mathrm{k}}{82}\right)=\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{1}{82}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{2}{82}\right)+\ldots \ldots+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{81}{82}\right) \\ =\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{1}{82}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{2}{82}\right)+\ldots \ldots .+\mathrm{f}\left(1-\frac{2}{82}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(1-\frac{1}{82}\right) \\ =\left[\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{1}{82}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(1-\frac{1}{82}\right)\right]+\left[\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{2}{82}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(1-\frac{2}{82}\right)\right]+\ldots . .40 \text { cases }+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{41}{82}\right) \end{array}$

$\begin{aligned} & =(1+1+\ldots 40 \text { times })+\frac{2^{1 / 2}}{2^{1 / 2}+2^{1 / 2}} \\ & 40+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{81}{2} \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=(3 a+2) x^2+\left(\frac{a+2}{a-1}\right) x+b \\ & f\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)=f(x)+f(y)+1-\frac{2}{7} x y\quad\text{.... (1)} \end{aligned}$

In (1) Put $x=y=0 \Rightarrow f(0)=2 f(0)+1 \Rightarrow f(0)=-1$

So, $\mathrm{f}(0)=0+0+\mathrm{b}=-1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{~b}=-1$

$\begin{aligned} & \text { In (1) Put } y=-x \Rightarrow f(0)=f(x)+f(-x)+1+\frac{2}{7} x^2 \\ & -1=2(3 a+2) x^2+2 b+1+\frac{2}{7} x^2 \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & -1=\left(2(3 a+2)+\frac{2}{7}\right) x^2+1-2 \\ & \Rightarrow 6 a+4+\frac{2}{7}=0 \\ & a=-\frac{5}{7} \end{aligned}$

So $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=-\frac{1}{7} \mathrm{x}^2-\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{x}-1$

$\Rightarrow|\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})|=\frac{1}{28}\left|4 \mathrm{x}^2+21 \mathrm{x}+28\right|$

Now, $28 \sum_{i=1}^5|f(i)|=28(|f(1)|+|f(2)|+\ldots+|f(5)|)$

$28 \cdot \frac{1}{28} \cdot 675=675$

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=\frac{2^{2 \mathrm{x}}-1}{2^{2 \mathrm{x}}+1} \\ & =1-\frac{2}{2^{2 \mathrm{x}}+1} \\ & \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})=\frac{2}{\left(2^{2 \mathrm{x}}+1\right)^2} \cdot 2 \cdot 2^{2 \mathrm{x}} \cdot \ln 2 \text { i.e always }+\mathrm{ve} \end{aligned}$

so $f(x)$ is $\uparrow$ function

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{f}(-\infty)=-1 \\ & \mathrm{f}(\infty)=1 \\ & \therefore \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \in(-1,1) \neq \text { co-domain } \end{aligned}$

so function is one-one but not onto

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=\frac{42^x+16}{2.2^{2 x}+16.2^x+32} \\ & f(x)=\frac{2\left(2^x+4\right)}{2^{2 x}+8.2^x+16} \\ & f(x)=\frac{2}{2^x+4} \\ & f(4-x)=\frac{2^x}{2\left(2^x+4\right)} \\ & f(x)+f(4-x)=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}$

So, $\quad \mathrm{f}\left(\frac{1}{15}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{59}{15}\right)=\frac{1}{2}$

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Similarly }=f\left(\frac{29}{15}\right)+f\left(\frac{31}{15}\right)=\frac{1}{2} \\ & f\left(\frac{30}{15}\right)=f(2)=\frac{2}{2^2+4}=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4} \\ & \Rightarrow 8\left(29 \times \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\right) \end{aligned}$

Ans. 118

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=\ln x \\ & g(x)=\frac{x^4-2 x^3+3 x^2-2 x+2}{2 x^2-2 x+1} \\ & D_g \in R \\ & D_f \in(0, \infty) \end{aligned}$

For $D_{f o g} \Rightarrow g(x)>0$

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{x^4-2 x^3+3 x^2-2 x+2}{2 x^2-2 x+1}>0 \\ & \Rightarrow x^4-2 x^3+3 x^2-2 x+2>0 \end{aligned}$

Clearly $\mathrm{x}<0$ satisfies which are included in option (1) only.

$ \textbf{Step 1: Total Functions with } 1 \in f(A) $

Any function $ f: A \to B $ where $ A = \{1, 2, 3, 4\} $ and $ B = \{1, 4, 9, 16\} $ is defined by choosing one of the four elements of $ B $ for each element of $ A $. Thus, the total number of functions is

$ 4^4 = 256. $

To count those functions where $ 1 $ appears at least once in the set $ f(A) $, we can use the complementary counting method: subtract the functions that never use $ 1 $. If $ 1 $ is excluded, each element of $ A $ has only 3 choices (namely, $ \{4, 9, 16\} $), so the number of such functions is

$ 3^4 = 81. $

Thus, the number of functions such that $ 1 \in f(A) $ is

$ 256 - 81 = 175. $

$ \textbf{Step 2: Counting Many-One Functions} $

In this context, "many-one functions" are understood to be non-injective functions. Since an injective (one-to-one) function from $ A $ to $ B $ must be a permutation (because both sets have 4 elements), the number of one-to-one functions is

$ 4! = 24. $

It is important to note that every injective function $ f: A \to B $ has $ f(A) = B $ (a full permutation) which automatically means $ 1 \in f(A) $.

Thus, the number of many-one (non-injective) functions $ f: A \to B $ with $ 1 \in f(A) $ is found by subtracting the one-to-one functions from the total functions that include $ 1 $:

$ 175 - 24 = 151. $

$ \boxed{151} $

This detailed explanation shows that the number of many-one functions $ f: A \rightarrow B $ such that $ 1 \in f(A) $ is indeed $ 151 $.

$\begin{aligned} & F(x)=\frac{1}{2+\sin 3 x+\cos 3 x}, x \in \mathbb{R} \\ & \sin 3 x+\cos 3 x \in[-\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{2}] \\ & 2+\sin 3 x+\cos 3 x \in[2-\sqrt{2}, 2+\sqrt{2}] \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2+\sin 3 x+\cos 3 x} \in\left[\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{2-\sqrt{2}}\right] \\ & \Rightarrow a=\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{2}}, b=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{2}} \\ & \alpha=\frac{a+b}{2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{2}}}{2} \\ & =\frac{4}{2 \times 2}=1 \\ & \beta=\sqrt{a b}=\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{2+\sqrt{2}}\right) \times\left(\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{2}}\right)} \\ & =\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\alpha}{\beta}=\sqrt{2} \\ \end{aligned}$

$ \begin{array}{ll} f(x)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x-1}{2 x+3}\right) & \\ -1 \leq \frac{x-1}{2 x+3} \leq 1 & \frac{x-1}{2 x+3}+1 \geq 0 \\ \frac{x-1}{2 x+3}-1 \leq 0 & \frac{x-1+2 x+3}{2 x+3} \geq 0 \\ \frac{x-1-2 x-3}{2 x+3} \leq 0 & \frac{3 x+2}{2 x+3} \geq 0 \end{array} $

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{-x-4}{2 x+3} \leq 0 \\ & \frac{x+4}{2 x+3} \geq 0 \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & x \in(-\infty,-4] \cup\left[\frac{-2}{3}, \infty\right) \\ & \text { Domain : } R-\left(-4, \frac{-2}{3}\right) \\ & \alpha=-4 \\ & \beta=\frac{-2}{3} \\ & 12 \times \alpha \beta=12 \times 4 \times \frac{2}{3}=32 \end{aligned}$

$|x|<0$ is not possible, so

$\begin{aligned} & f(|x|)= \begin{cases}x+a & -a \leq x \leq 0 \\ -x+a & 0 < x \leq a\end{cases} \\ & |f(x)|= \begin{cases}a & -a \leq x \leq 0 \\ x+a & 0 < x \leq a\end{cases} \\ & h(x)= \begin{cases}-\frac{x}{2} & -a \leq x \leq 0 \\ 0 & 0 < x \leq a\end{cases} \end{aligned}$

Neither one-one nor onto.

$f\left(\frac{1}{\pi}\right)< f\left(\frac{1}{e}\right) \quad \text { as } \frac{1}{\pi}<\frac{1}{e}$

$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow\left(\frac{1}{1}\right)^{\frac{2}{\pi}}<\left(\frac{1}{\frac{1}{e}}\right)^{\frac{2}{e}} \\ & \Rightarrow(\pi)^{\frac{2}{\pi}}<(e)^{\frac{2}{e}} \\ & \Rightarrow \pi^e < e^\pi \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=\frac{1}{7-\sin 5 x} \\\\ & -1 \leq \sin 5 x \leq 1 \\\\ & -1 \leq-\sin 5 x \leq 1 \\\\ & -1+7 \leq 7-\sin 5 x \leq 1+7 \\\\ & 6 \leq 7-\sin 5 x \leq 8 \\\\ & \frac{1}{8} \leq \frac{1}{7-\sin 5 x} \leq \frac{1}{6} \\\\ & \frac{1}{8} \leq f(x) \leq \frac{1}{6} \\\\ & \text { Range }=\left[\frac{1}{8}, \frac{1}{6}\right] \end{aligned}$

The function $ f(x)=\frac{x^2+2x-15}{x^2-4x+9}, x \in \mathbb{R} $ can be simplified to $ f(x)=\frac{(x-3)(x+5)}{x^2-4x+9} $.

For $ x=3 $ and $ x=-5 $, $ f(x) $ equals 0. Therefore, $ f(x) $ is not one-one as it yields the same output for different input values.

The range of $ f(x) $ is $ [-2, 1.6] $, indicating that $ f(x) $ does not cover all possible real values. Consequently, $ f(x) $ is not onto.

Thus, the function is neither one-one nor onto.

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)= \begin{cases}x-1, & x \geq 1 \\ 1-x & x<0\end{cases} \\ & g(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} e^x & ; \quad x \geq 0 \\ x+1 & ; \quad x \leq 0 \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} f(g(x)) & = \begin{cases}g(x)-1, & g(x) \geq 1 \\ 1-g(x) & g(x)<1\end{cases} \\ & =\left\{\begin{array}{cl} e^x-1 & x \geq 0 \\ -x & x<0 \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}$

$f(1)+f(3)=14$

Total one-one function

$\begin{aligned} & =2 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \\ & =120 \end{aligned}$

Case II

$\begin{aligned} & f(1)=4, f(3)=10 \\ & f(1)=10, f(3)=4 \end{aligned}$

Total one-one function

$\begin{aligned} & =2 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \\ & =120 \\ & \text { Total cases }=120+120=240 \end{aligned}$

To find the domain of the function $f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x^2-25}}{(4-x^2)}+\log_{10}(x^2+2x-15),$ we need to consider the domain conditions for both the square root function and the logarithmic function.

The square root function $\sqrt{x^2-25}$ requires that the argument of the square root be non-negative, so $x^2 - 25 \geq 0.$ This inequality is satisfied when $x \leq -5 \quad \text{or} \quad x \geq 5.$

The denominator of the rational part of $f(x)$, $(4-x^2)$, cannot be zero, otherwise, the function will become undefined due to division by zero. Thus, we must have $4 - x^2 \neq 0.$ This inequality is violated when $x = \pm2.$

Combining these conditions gives us the domain for the rational part of the function: $x \in (-\infty, -5] \cup (5, \infty) \quad \text{and} \quad x \neq 2,-2.$

Moving on to the logarithmic function, $\log_{10}(x^2+2x-15)$, the argument must be positive: $x^2 + 2x - 15 > 0.$ This is a quadratic inequality, which we can factor to find the solution: $(x+5)(x-3) > 0.$ From this, we see that the inequality is satisfied for $x < -5 \quad \text{or} \quad x > 3.$

The overall domain of $f(x)$ is the intersection of the domains for each piece. Taking the intersection of the two sets gives us: $x \in (-\infty, -5) \cup (5, \infty),$

Since the question states that the domain is of the form $(-\infty, \alpha) \cup [\beta, \infty)$, we can infer that $\alpha = -5 \quad \text{and} \quad \beta = 5.$

We calculate $\alpha^2 + \beta^3$ as follows: $\alpha^2 + \beta^3 = (-5)^2 + 5^3 = 25 + 125 = 150.$

So the correct answer, representing the sum of $\alpha^2$ and $\beta^3$, is: Option D $150$.

To find $(g \circ g \circ g)(4),$ we first need to understand the composition of $f$ with itself, i.e., $(f \circ f)(x) = f(f(x)) = g(x).$ We can then repeatedly apply $g$ to get the given expression.

First, let's calculate $(f \circ f)(x) = g(x):$

$g(x) = (f \circ f)(x) = f(f(x))$

$= f\left(\frac{4x+3}{6x-4}\right)$

To evaluate this expression, we substitute $\frac{4x+3}{6x-4}$ for $x$ in the function $f(x):$

$g(x) = f\left(\frac{4x+3}{6x-4}\right) = \frac{4\left(\frac{4x+3}{6x-4}\right) + 3}{6\left(\frac{4x+3}{6x-4}\right) - 4}$

Now, we simplify the expression:

$g(x) = \frac{4(4x+3) + 3(6x-4)}{6(4x+3) - 4(6x-4)}$

$= \frac{16x + 12 + 18x - 12}{24x + 18 - 24x + 16}$

$= \frac{34x}{34}$

$= x$

So, $g(x) = x$ for all $x$ in the domain of $g$, which is $\mathbb{R}-\left\{\frac{2}{3}\right\}$. It's important to note that the domain restriction is preserved through the composition because $f(x)$ has a vertical asymptote at $x = \frac{2}{3}$ which doesn't intersect the graph.

So, $g(x)$ is the identity function on its domain, which means that applying $g$ any number of times will result in the same input for $x$ in the given domain. Hence, we have:

$ (g \circ g \circ g \circ g)(4) = g(g(g(g(4)))) = g(g(g(4))) = g(g(4)) = g(4) = 4 $

This corresponds to option D, which is $4$.

$(-2,3]$ ..... (2)

$\left[\frac{-1}{3}, 3\right]$ ..... (3) $\quad (1) \cap(2) \cap(3)$

$\begin{aligned} & \left(\frac{3}{4}, 3\right] \\ & \alpha=\frac{3}{4} \beta=3 \\ & 5 \beta-4 \alpha=15-3=12 \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & -1 \leq\left|\frac{2-|x|}{4}\right| \leq 1 \\ & \Rightarrow\left|\frac{2-|x|}{4}\right| \leq 1 \\ & -4 \leq 2-|x| \leq 4 \\ & -6 \leq-|x| \leq 2 \\ & -2 \leq|x| \leq 6 \\ & |x| \leq 6 \end{aligned}$

$\Rightarrow x \in[-6,6]$ .... (1)

Now, $3-x\ne 1$

And $x\ne2$ .... (2)

and $3-x>0$

$x<3$ .... (3)

$\begin{aligned} & \text { From (1), (2) and (3) } \\ & \Rightarrow x \in[-6,3)-\{2\} \\ & \alpha=6 \\ & \beta=3 \\ & \gamma=2 \\ & \alpha+\beta+\gamma=11 \end{aligned}$

$f(g(x)) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {2 + 2g(x),} & { - 1 \le g(x) < 0} & {.....(1)} \cr {1 - {{g(x)} \over 3},} & {0 \le g(x) \le 3} & {.....(2)} \cr } } \right.$

$\text { By (1) } x \in \phi$

And by (2) $x \in[-3,0]$ and $x \in[0,1]$

Range of $\mathrm{f(g(x))}$ is $[0,1]$

$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=\frac{2 x+3}{2 x+1} ; x \neq-\frac{1}{2} \\ & g(x)=\frac{|x|+1}{2 x+5}, x \neq-\frac{5}{2} \end{aligned}$

Domain of $f(g(x))$

$f(g(x))=\frac{2 g(x)+3}{2 g(x)+1}$

$x \neq-\frac{5}{2}$ and $\frac{|x|+1}{2 x+5} \neq-\frac{1}{2}$

$x \in R-\left\{-\frac{5}{2}\right\}$ and $x \in R$

$\therefore$ Domain will be $\mathrm{R}-\left\{-\frac{5}{2}\right\}$

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}: \mathrm{N}-\{1\} \rightarrow \mathrm{N} \\ & \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{n})=\text { The highest prime factor of } \mathrm{n} . \\ & \mathrm{f}(2)=2 \\ & \mathrm{f}(4)=2 \\ & \Rightarrow \text { many one } \\ & 4 \text { is not image of any element } \\ & \Rightarrow \text { into } \end{aligned}$

Hence many one and into

Neither one-one nor onto.
