Question

Consider the following statements :

1. If f is the subset of Z × Z defined by f = {(xy, x − y); x, y ∈ Z}, then f is a function from Z to Z.

2. If f is the subset of N × N defined by f = {(xy, x + y); x, y ∈ N}, then f is a function from N to N.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

This question was previously asked in
NDA I 2022 GAT Previous Year Paper (10-Apr-2022)
The correct answer is

Neither 1 nor 2

Neither statement is true. In statement 1, \((x,y)=(0,1)\) and \((0,2)\) give the same input 0 but outputs −1 and −2. In statement 2, \((1,6)\) and \((2,3)\) give the same input 6 but outputs 7 and 5. A function cannot assign two different outputs to one input.
