The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the composition of two functions, \( f \) and \( g \), where \( f: A \to B \) is a one-one and onto function, and \( g: B \to A \) is the inverse of \( f \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Functions**: - We have a function \( f: A \to B \) which is both one-one (injective) and onto (surjective). This means every element in \( B \) is mapped to by exactly one element in \( A \). - The function \( g: B \to A \) is defined as the inverse of \( f \). This means that for every \( b \in B \), \( g(b) \) gives us the unique \( a \in A \) such that \( f(a) = b \). 2. **Expressing the Composition**: - We need to find \( f \circ g \), which means we want to compute \( f(g(b)) \) for any \( b \in B \). 3. **Using the Definition of Inverse**: - Since \( g \) is the inverse of \( f \), we have: \[ g(b) = a \quad \text{such that} \quad f(a) = b \] - Therefore, when we apply \( f \) to \( g(b) \): \[ f(g(b)) = f(a) = b \] 4. **Conclusion**: - Thus, we find that: \[ f \circ g(b) = b \] - This means that the composition \( f \circ g \) acts as the identity function on the set \( B \). Hence, we can write: \[ f \circ g = I_B \] - where \( I_B \) is the identity function on set \( B \). ### Final Answer: \[ f \circ g = I_B \]
