Let f : R → R be defined as f(x) = 3x. Choose the correct answer.
(A) f is one-one onto
(B) f is many-one onto
(C) f is one-one but not onto
(D) f is neither one-one nor onto.
f: R → R defined as f(x) = 3x.
Let x, y ∈ R such that f(x) = f(y).
⇒ 3x = 3y
⇒ x = y
∴f is one-one.
Also, for any real number (y) in co-domain R, there exists 
in R such that
.
∴f is onto.
Hence, function f is one-one and onto.
The correct answer is A.
