Let S=(0,1)∪(1,2)∪(3,4)S=(0,1) \cup(1,2) \cup(3,4) and T={0,1,2,3}T=\{0,1,2,3\} . Then which of the following statements is(are) true?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A There are infinitely many functions from SS to TT
  • B There are infinitely many strictly increasing functions from SS to TT
  • C The number of continuous functions from SS to TT is at most 120
  • D Every continuous function from SS to TT is differentiable

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

S=(0,1)∪(1,2)∪(3,4) and T={0,1,2,3}. S=(0,1) \cup(1,2) \cup(3,4) \text { and } T=\{0,1,2,3\} \text {. }

Let domain and co-domain of a function y=f(x)y=f(x) are SS and TT respectively.

(A) There are infinitely many elements in domain and four elements in co-domain.

⇒\Rightarrow There are infinitely many functions from SS to TT .

⇒\Rightarrow Option (A)(A) is correct

(B) If number of elements in domain is greater than number of elements in co-domain, then number of strictly increasing function is zero.

⇒\Rightarrow Option (B) is incorrect

(C) Maximum number of continuous functions = 4×4×4=644 \times 4 \times 4=64

(Every subset (0,1),(1,2),(3,4)(0,1),(1,2),(3,4) has four choices)

\because 64 < 120 \Rightarrow option (C) is correct.

(D) For every point at which f(x)f(x) is continuous, f(x)=0f(x)=0

⇒\Rightarrow Every continuous function from SS to TT is differentiable.

Option (D) is correct.
