Solution

The correct option is A

105


Explanation for the correct option:

Simplify the given function:

Given, g:AA.

Therefore, g(f(x))=f(x).

If xis even, then g(x)=x.

If xis odd, then g(x+1)=x+1.

Therefore, it is clear from the above that, g(x)=xif x is even.

However, g(x)can take any value of Awhen x is odd.

Therefore, 5 elements in the set A can be mapped to any 10 elements.

Hence, the number of possible functions g=105×1=105.

Therefore, Option(A) is the correct answer.
