    The   function \[f:R\to R\] defined as\[f(x)=(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)\]is

    A)  one-one but not onto

    B)  onto but not one-one

    C)  both one-one and onto

    D)  neither one-one nor onto

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given,\[f(x)=(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)\] and        \[f(1)=f(2)=f(3)=0\] \[\Rightarrow f(x)\]is not one-one. For each\[y\in R\], there exists\[x\in R\], such that\[f(x)=y\]. Therefore, \[f\] is onto. Hence, \[f:R\to R\]is onto but not one-one.
