Question:

The greatest integer function f : R → R given by f(x) = [x], x ∈ R and [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x is :

Options:

one - one

onto

both one - one and onto

neither one - one nor onto

Correct Answer:

neither one - one nor onto

Explanation:

f(x) = [x]  

e.g  for x = 2.1, 2.3

f(2.1) = [2.1]

= 2

f(2.3) = [2.3]

= 2

for R → R

⇒ its not one one

e.g for f(x) = Non integral values 

x → doesn't exist (not onto)
