Solution
\[Let f^{- 1} \left( - 1 \right) = x . . . \left( 1 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow f\left( x \right) = - 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow x^3 = - 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow x^3 + 1 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( x + 1 \right)\left( x^2 - x + 1 \right) = 0 \left[ \text{using the identity}: a^3 + b^3 = \left( a + b \right)\left( a^2 - ab + b^2 \right) \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( x + 1 \right)\left( x + \omega \right)\left( x + \omega^2 \right) = 0, where \omega = \frac{1 \pm i\sqrt{3}}{2} \]
\[ \Rightarrow x = - 1, - \omega, - \omega^2 \left( asx \in C \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow f^{- 1} \left( - 1 \right) = \left\{ - 1, - \omega, - \omega^2 \right\} [from\left( 1 \right)]\]

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?
