1. A function f front he set of natural numbers to integers defined by

 n− 1
 2 , when n is odd

f(n) = 
 n
− , when n is even
 2
(1) One – one but not onto (2) Onto but not one -one
(3) One – one and onto both (4) Neither one – one nor onto
Sol. (3) f :N →I
f (1) = 0 , f (2) = −1, f (3) = −1, f (4) = −2, f (5) = 2 and 1 0

f (6) = −3 so on. 2 –1
3 1
4 –2
In this type of function every element of set A has unique image in set B and 5 2
there is no element left in set B. 6 3
Hence f is one-one and onto function.
2. Let z1 and z2 be two roots of the equation. z 2 + az + b = 0, z being complex.
Further, assume that the origin, z1 and z2 form an equilateral triangle. Then

(1) a2 = b (2) a 2 =2b (3) a 2 = 3b (4) a 2 = 4b

Sol. (3) z 2 + az + b = 0
z1 + z2 = − a & z1 z2 = b
0, z1 , z2 form an equilateral ∆
∴ 02 + z12 + z22 = 0.z1 + z1.z2 + z2 .0 (for eq. ∆; z12 + z22 + z32 = z1 z2 + z2 z3 + z3 z1 )
z12 + z22 = z1 z2
( z1 + z2 )2 = 3z1 z2
∴ a 2 = 3b .
