Solution

Given that f:R{43}R is defined as f(x)=4x3x+4
Let y be an arbitrary element of range f.
Then, there exists xR{43} such that y =f(x)
y=4x3x+43xy+4y=4xx(43y)=4yx=4y43y
Let us define g: Range fR{43} as g(Y)=4y43y.
Now, (gof)(x)=g(f(x))=g(4x3x+4)
=4(4x3x+4)43(4x3x+4)=16x12x+1612x=16x16=x
and (fog)(y)=f(g(y))=f(4y43y)
=4(4y43y)3(4y43y)+4=16y12y+1612y=16y16=y
Therefore, gof=IR{43} and fog=IR
Thus, g is the inverse of f i.e., f1=g
Hence, the inverse of f is the map g:Range fR{43}, which is given by g(y)=4y43y. Thus, the correct answer is (b).
