Solution
The correct option is B One-one Given: A = {1,2, 3} , B = {4,5,6,7} and f = {(1, 4),(2,5),(3,6)}
Then 'f' is a function from A to B and for different elements in A, there are different images in B.
Hence, 'f' is one–one function.
Note: The element 7 in the co-domain does not have any pre-image in the domain. Hence, 'f' is not onto.
A function is bijection if it is both one-one and onto. Here, since 'f' is not onto so it cannot be bijection.
