The correct Answer is:
To determine if the function that assigns each person on Earth a number corresponding to their age is one-one, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the function Let the function \( f \) be defined as follows: - \( f: P \to A \) - Where \( P \) is the set of all people on Earth and \( A \) is the set of ages. ### Step 2: Analyze the mapping In this function, each person \( p \in P \) is assigned a number \( a \in A \) that corresponds to their age. ### Step 3: Identify the uniqueness of the mapping For a function to be one-one (or injective), each element in the domain must map to a unique element in the codomain. This means that if two different people have the same age, they would receive the same number. ### Step 4: Evaluate the function Since many people can share the same age (for example, all 30-year-olds), there will be multiple people \( p_1, p_2 \in P \) such that: - \( f(p_1) = f(p_2) \) - This indicates that the same age is assigned to different individuals. ### Step 5: Conclude the result Since the function does not assign a unique number to each person (multiple people can have the same age), it is not a one-one function. ### Final Answer: The function that assigns each person on Earth a number corresponding to their age is **not a one-one function**. ---
