Solution
f : R → R is defined by f(x) = 3 – 4x
Let x1, x2 ∈ R such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ 3 – 4x1 = 3 – 4x2
⇒ –4x1 = –4x2
⇒ x1 = x2
∴ f is one-one.
f : R → R be given for every y ∈ R (co-domain of f), there exists an element x ∈ R (domain of f) such that
f(x) = y
⇒ y = 3 – 4x
For any real number y ∈ R, there exists `x = (3 - y)/4 ∈ R` such that:
∴ `f((3 - y)/4)`
= `3 - 4 ((3 - y)/4)`
= 3 – 3 + y
= y
∴ f is onto.
Thus, f is one-one and onto and hence bijective.

An organization conducted a bike race under 2 different categories-boys and girls. Totally there were 250 participants. Among all of them finally, three from Category 1 and two from Category 2 were selected for the final race. Ravi forms two sets B and G with these participants for his college project. Let B = {b1,b2,b3} G={g1,g2} where B represents the set of boys selected and G the set of girls who were selected for the final race.
Ravi decides to explore these sets for various types of relations and functions.
- Ravi wants to know among those relations, how many functions can be formed from B to G?
