[Orissa JEE 2004]

Options:

A) Injective

B) Surjective

C) Bijective

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

We have $ f(x)=x+\sqrt{x^{2}}=x+|x| $ Clearly f is not one-one as $ f(-1)=f(-2)=0 $ but $ -1\ne 2 $ . Also f is not onto as $ f(x)\ge 0,,\forall x\in R, $ Also, range of $ f=(0,\infty )\subset R $ .
