Objective : To demonstrate a function which is not one-one but is onto.

-3 cm

Pre-requisite knowledge : such


Basicasknowledge of relations, functions and their types
one-one functions and onto functions.
Materials required : Coloured chart paper (green, red), a hard board, a pair of
scissors, gluestick, some paper pins, some pieces of thread or yarn.
Procedure :
15 cm
1. From a green chart paper, cut out a rectangular strip of length 15 cm
and width 3 cm as shown in Fig. 3.1.

2. From a red chart paper, cutut out a rectangular
strip of length 10 cm and width 3 cm as shown
in Fig 3.2.

3. Paste these two strips on a hardboard side by side and mark Aand Bon them respectively as shown
in Fig. 3.3.

4. Fix 4 paper pins on the green strip and mark the pins as a, b, c and d. Similarly fix 3 paper pins on
red strip and mark them as x, y and z, as shown in Fig. 3.4.

5. Join pins on the strips with the help of threads or yarns
as shown in Fig. 3.5 Here keep the threads
tight.

Observations
1. The image of the element a of A in B is z.
2. The image of the element b of A in
B is y.
3. The image of the element c of A in B is
x.
4. The image of the element d of A in B is z.
5. The pre-image of the element x of B in A is c.
6. The pre-image of the element y of B in A is
b.
7. The pre-images of the element z of B in A are a
and d.
8. Since the elements a and d in A have
the same image as Z in B. So, the function is many one or
not one-one.
9. Also, we see that every element of B is
10. From 8 and 9 above, we can say that the
image of some element of A. So, the function is onto.
function shown in fig 3.5 is not one-one but onto.
Conclusion
In the above activity, we have demonstrated a function which is not
one-one but onto.
Application : The activity can be used for concept clarity of bijective
functions.
