A function f from a set X to Y is called onto, if for every
y ∈ Y there exist x ∈ X such that f (x) = y. Unless the contrary is specified, a real function is onto if it takes all real values, otherwise it is called into function. Thus, if X and Y are finite sets, then f cannot be onto If Y contains more element than X.
Which of the following is not true ?
  1. A one-one function from the set {a, b, c} to {α, β, γ}
    is onto also.
  2. An onto function from an infinite set to a finite set
    cannot be one-one.
  3. An onto function is always invertible.
  4. The function tan x and cot x are onto

Answer

(C) An onto function is always invertible.
