[4]
Solution:

Question 13.
Show that f : N → N, given by

is both one-one and onto. [4]
Solution:
Let x, y ϵ R such that f(x) = f(y)
m=m
If x and y are odd, then
∴ f(x) = f(y)
⇒ x + 1 = y + 1
⇒ x = y
If x and y are even, then
f(x) = f(y)
⇒ x – 1 = y – 1
⇒ x = y
f(x) = x + 1 is even and f(y) = y + 1 is odd.
∴ x ≠ y ⇒ f(x) ≠ f(y)
Similarly if x is even and y is odd, then
x ≠ y ⇒ f(x) ≠ f(y)
Hence, f : N → N is one-one .
Also, f(1) = 1 + 1 = 2
f(1) = 2 (∵ is odd)
If x is odd number, then 3 an even natural number, x + 1 ϵ N such that,
f(x + 1) = x + 1 – 1
= x
If x is even number, then there exist a odd natural number x – 1 ϵ N such that,
f(x – 1) = x – 1 + 1
= x
Hence for every y ϵ N Ǝ x ϵ N such that f(x) = y,
so f is onto.
Hence f is both one-one and onto.
Hence Proved.

Question 29.
A dietician wishes to mix two types of foods in such a way that the vitamin contents of the mixture contains at least 8 units of vitamin A and 10 units of vitamin C. Food I contains 2 units/kg of vitamin A and 1 unit/kg of vitamin C while food II contains 1 unit/kg of vitamin A and 2 units/kg of vitamin 1 unit/kg of vitamin C. It costs ₹ 5 per kg to purchase food I and ₹ 7 per kg to purchase Food II. Determine the minimum cost of such a mixture. Formulate the above as a LPP and solve it graphically. [6]
Solution:

Let the amount of food I = x kg
Let the amount of food II = y kg
If Z denotes the total cost
To minimize the cost we have to minimize Z.
Subject to the constraints,
2x + y ≥ 8
x + 2y ≥ 10
x ≥ 0
y ≥ 0
Minimize Z = 5x + 7y
First we draw the lines AB and CD whose equations are
2x + y = 8 ..(ii)

The feasible region is shaded in the figure. The lines are intersecting at the point E (2, 4).
∴ The vertices of the feasible region are A (0, 8), E (2, 4) and D (10, 0).

Since the feasible region is unbounded 38 may or may not be minimum value of total cost for this we draw graph of inequality.
5x + 7y < 38

Clearly graph of L has no common point with the feasible region.
∴  The minimum value of Z is 38 at the point E (2, 4). Hence, the amount of food I is 2 kg and amount of food II is 4 kg should be included in the mixture for minimum cost of ₹ 38.
