The function $f: \mathbf{N}-\{1\} \rightarrow \mathbf{N}$; defined by $f(\mathrm{n})=$ the highest prime factor of $\mathrm{n}$, is :
Solution
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}: \mathrm{N}-\{1\} \rightarrow \mathrm{N} \\
& \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{n})=\text { The highest prime factor of } \mathrm{n} . \\
& \mathrm{f}(2)=2 \\
& \mathrm{f}(4)=2 \\
& \Rightarrow \text { many one } \\
& 4 \text { is not image of any element } \\
& \Rightarrow \text { into }
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>Hence many one and into</p>
<p>Neither one-one nor onto.</p>
