The function f:N→If: N \to I defined by f(x)=x−5f\left(x\right) = x - 5\left[\dfrac{x}{5}\right],where, whereNisthesetofnaturalnumbersand[x]is the set of natural numbers and \left[x\right] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to xx, is:

Options

  1. Aone-one but not onto
  2. Bone-one and onto
  3. Cneither one-one nor onto
  4. Donto but not one-one

Correct answer

C. neither one-one nor onto

Step-by-step solution

Given, f(x)=x−5[x5]f( x ) = x - 5[ \dfrac{x}{5} ]

Hence, f(x)=5(x5−[x5])f( x ) = 5( \dfrac{x}{5} - [ \dfrac{x}{5} ] )

=5x5= 5{ \dfrac{x}{5} }

Since, xx is a natural number.

Hence, \left\{\dfrac{x}{5}\right\} = 0, \dfrac{1}{5}, \dfrac{2}{5}, \dfrac{3}{5}, \dfrac{4}{5}<br/><br/>Hence,<br /><br />Hence,f( x ) = 0,when, whenx = 5n, n \in N<br/><br/><br /><br />= 1whenwhenx = 5n + 1, n \in N<br/><br/><br /><br />= 2whenwhenx = 5n + 2, n \in N<br/><br/><br /><br />= 3whenwhenx = 5n + 3, n \in N<br/><br/><br /><br />= 4whenwhenx = 5n + 4, n \in N<br/><br/>Hence,<br /><br />Hence,f\left(x\right) is neither one-one nor onto.
