Let $f, g: N -\{1\} \rightarrow N$ be functions defined by $f(a)=\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is the maximum of the powers of those primes $p$ such that $p^{\alpha}$ divides $a$, and $g(a)=a+1$, for all $a \in N -\{1\}$. Then, the function $f+ g$ is.

A

one-one but not onto

B

onto but not one-one

C

both one-one and onto

D

neither one-one nor onto

Solution

$f: N-\{1\} \rightarrow N \quad f(a)=\alpha$

Where $\alpha$ is max of powers of prime $P$ such that $p ^{\alpha}$ divides a. Also $g ( a )= a +1$

$f(2)=1$ $g(2)=3$

$f(3)=1$ $g(3)=4$

$f(4)=2$ $g(4)=5$

$f(5)=1$ $g(5)=6$

$f(2)+g(2)=4$

$(f(3)+g(3))=5$

$f(4)+g(4)=7$

$f(5)+g(5)=7$

$\therefore$ Many one $f(x)+g(x)$ does not cotain 1
