    If R denotes the set of all real numbers then the function \[f:R\to R\] defined \[f(x)=\ [x]\]                         [Karnataka CET 2004]

    A)                    One-one only

    B)            Onto only

    C)            Both one-one and onto

    D)            Neither one-one nor onto

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Let \[f({{x}_{1}})=f({{x}_{2}})\]\[\Rightarrow [{{x}_{1}}]=[{{x}_{2}}]\not{\Rightarrow }{{x}_{1}}={{x}_{2}}\]                    {For example, if x1=1.4, x2=1.5, then [1.4]=[1.5] =1}                    \[\therefore \] f is not one-one.                    Also, f is not onto as its range I (set of integers) is a proper subset of its co-domain R.
