Onsective Mareriat Required
To demonstrate a function which is Cardboard, nails, strings, adhesive
one-one but not onto. and plastic strips.
MEtHop or ConstRuCTION
1. Paste a plastic strip on the left hand side of the cardboard and fix two nails
in it as shown in the Fig. 4.1. Name the nails as a and b.
2. Paste another strip on the right hand side of the cardboard and fix three
nails on it as shown in the Fig. 4.2. Name the nails on the right strip as
1,2 and 3.
3. Join nails on the left strip to the nails on the right strip as shown in the Fig. 4.3.

Fig. 4.3
DEMONSTRATION
1. Take the set X = {a, b}
2. Take the set Y = {1, 2,3}.
3. Join elements of X to the elements of Y as shown in Fig. 4.3.
‘Scanned with CamScanner OBSERVATION
1, The image of the clement a of X in Y is
The image of the element b of X in Y is
So, the Fig. 4.3 represents a
2. Every element in X has a image in Y. So, the function is
(one-one/not one-one).
3. The pre-image of the element | of Y in X (exists/does not
exist), So, the function is (onto/not onto).
Thus, Fig. 4,3 represents a function which is but not onto,
APPLICATION
This activity can be used to demonstrate the concept of one-one but not onto
function.
