Question

Consider the following relations from \(A\) to \(B\), where \(A = \{1, 3, 5\}\) and \(B = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}\):

I. \(\{(1,2), (3,2), (3,6), (5,8)\}\)

II. \(\{(3,4), (5,8), (1,6), (3,2)\}\)

III. \(\{(1,2), (3,6)\}\)

IV. \(\{(1,6), (3,2), (5,2)\}\)

Which of the above is/are function(s) from \(A\) to \(B\)?

This question was previously asked in
NDA 2 2026 GAT Question Paper (13-Sep-2026)
The correct answer is

IV only

In I and II, the element 3 is assigned two different images, so they are not functions. In III, the element 5 has no image, so its domain is not all of \(A\), hence not a function. Only IV maps each of 1, 3, 5 to exactly one element of \(B\), so only IV is a function from \(A\) to \(B\).
