Question : 20 of 20
Marks: +1, -0
Assertion (A) : Let Z be the set of integers. A function f:ZZ defined as f(x)=3x5,xZ is a bijective.
Reason (R) : A function is a bijective if it is both surjective and injective.
Solution:  
We have f:ZZ defined by f(x)=3x5
Let us check if the function is injective
Assume, f(x1)=f(x2) x1,x2Z
3x15=3x25
3x1=3x2
x1=x2
Thus, f is injective
Now, let us check if the function is surjective.
For f to be surjective, for every yZ, there must exist on xZ such that f(x)=y
y = 3x - 5
x=y+53
If y = 1, then x=1+53=2, which is an integer.
If y = 2, then x=2+53=72, which is not an integer.
Since, x is not always an integer for every integer y, f is not surjective.
f is not bijective because it is not surjective.
The reason is correct, as a bijective function must be injective and surjective.
