Question
If A = {1, 2, 3}, show that a onto function f : A → A must be one-one.

Solution
A ={1, 2, 3}
Possible onto functions from A to A can be the following:
(i) {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}
(ii) {(1, 1), (2, 3), (3, 2)}
(iii) {(1, 2 ), (2, 2), (3, 3 )}
(iv) {(1, 2), (2, 1), (3, 3)}
(v) {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1)}
(vi) {(1, 3), (2, 1), (3,2 )}
Here, in each function, different elements of the domain have different images.
So, all the functions are one-one.
