For the functions f(x)=x2f(x) = x^2 and g(x)=x3g(x) = x^3, which of the following statements are TRUE?

[where N is the set of natural numbers and Z is the set of integers]

(A) f:N→Nf: N \to N is one-one but not onto.

(B) f:Z→Zf: Z \to Z is neither one-one nor onto.

(C) g:N→Ng: N \to N is one-one but not onto.

(D) g:Z→Zg: Z \to Z is one-one but not onto.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

On N, both x2x^2 and x3x^3 are one-one but miss values like 2, so not onto. On Z, x2x^2 fails one-one (11 and −1-1) and is not onto. On Z, x3x^3 is one-one but 2 has no integer cube root, so not onto. All four are true.
