Practicing Success
Let A and B be sets then the function f: A×B →B×A such that (a, b) = (b, a) is- |

one-one and onto both |
It is given f: A×B →B×A such that (a, b) = (b, a) Let (a1, b1), (a2, b2) ∈ A×B such that f(a1, b1) = f(a2, b2) ⇒ (b1, a1) = (b2, a2) ⇒ b1 = b2 and a1 =a2 ⇒ (a1, b1) = (a2, b2) so, f is one-one. Now let (b, a) ∈ B×A be any element. Then, there exist (a, b) ∈ A×B such that f(a, b) = (b, a). so f is onto. Hence f is one- one and onto both.
