Q.Let A={1,2,3}A = \{1, 2, 3\} and B={4,5,6}B = \{4, 5, 6\}, with the arrows 1→41\to 4, 2→52\to 5, 3→63\to 6. Classify this function as one-one or many-one, and as onto or into. Is it bijective?

Step 1 — Check one-one vs many-one. The three arrows land on 44, 55, 66 respectively — three DIFFERENT elements of BB, no element of BB receiving more than one arrow. This is one-one.

Step 2 — Check onto vs into. The range is {4,5,6}\{4,5,6\} (every element that received an arrow), and the co-domain is B={4,5,6}B = \{4,5,6\}. Since range == co-domain, every element of BB is used — this is onto. …
