Answer:
Correct Answer: 62.(c)
Solution:
Formula:
Properties Of Periodic Function:
- We have, $f(x)=\frac{x}{1+x^{2}}$
$$ \therefore \quad f \frac{1}{x}=\frac{\frac{1}{x}}{1+\frac{1}{x^{2}}}=\frac{x}{1+x^{2}}=f(x) $$
$\therefore \quad f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=f(2)$ or $f\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)=f(3)$ and so on.
So, $f(x)$ is a many-one function.
Again, let $\quad y=f(x) \Rightarrow y=\frac{x}{1+x^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \quad y+x^{2} y=x \Rightarrow y x^{2}-x+y=0$
As, $\quad x \in \mathbb{R}$
$\therefore \quad(-1)^{2}-4(y)(y) \geq 0$
$\Rightarrow \quad 1-4 y^{2} \geq 0$
$\Rightarrow \quad y \in \left[-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right]$
$\therefore$ Range $=$ Codomain $=\left[-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right]$
So, $f(x)$ is surjective.
Hence, $f(x)$ is surjective but not injective.
