Let S = 0 , 1 ∪ 1 ,   2 ∪ 3 ,   4 and T = 0 ,   1 ,   2 ,   3 . Then…

Let S=0,11, 23, 4 and T=0, 1, 2, 3. Then which of the following statements is(are) true?

  1. There are infinitely many functions from S to T
  2. There are infinitely many strictly increasing functions from S to T
  3. The number of continuous functions from S to T is at most 120
  4. Every continuous function from S to T is differentiable

Solution

Given,

S=0, 11, 23, 4 and T=0, 1, 2, 3

Now, let domain and co-domain of a function y=fx are S and T respectively.

Now solving option,

A There are infinitely many elements in domain and four elements in co-domain.

There are infinitely many functions from S to T.

Option A is correct

B If number of elements in domain is greater than number of elements in co-domain, then number of strictly increasing function is zero.

{ Assume sinx function its elements in domain is greater than its range hence, it is not an strictly increasing function.}

Option B is incorrect

C Maximum number of continuous functions =4×4×4=64
(Every subset 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4 has four choices)
 64<120

 Option C is correct.

D For every point at which fx is continuous, f'x=0 {as derivative of constant is always zero}

Every continuous function from S to T is differentiable.

 Option D is correct
