If $f: R-\left\{\frac{3}{7}\right\} \rightarrow R-\left\{\frac{3}{7}\right\}$ is given by $f(x)=\frac{3 x+5}{7 x-3}$, then the statement which is not true, is
  1. $f^{-1}(x)=f(x)$
  2. $(f \circ f)(x)=x$
  3. $(f \circ f \circ f)(x)=x$
  4. $(f \circ f \circ f \circ f)(x)=x$

Solution

Given, function $f: R-\left\{\frac{3}{7}\right\} \rightarrow R-\left\{\frac{3}{7}\right\}$ is define by $f(x)=\frac{3 x+5}{7 x-3}$. Let $\quad f(x)=y \Rightarrow \frac{3 x+5}{7 x-3}=y$ $\Rightarrow \quad x=\frac{3 y+5}{7 y-3}$, so $f(x)$ is a bijective function and $f^{-1}(x)=f(x)$. $(f \circ f)(x)=x$ and $(f \circ f \circ f \circ f)(x)=x$ But $(f \circ f \circ f)(x) \neq x$. Hence, option (c) is correct.
