JEE Advanced 2020 — Paper 1 — Question 30

If the function f:R→Rf: R \rightarrow R is defined by f(x)=∣x∣(x−sin⁡x)f(x)=|x|(x-\sin x), then which of the following statements is TRUE?

  1. Option A:

    f is one-one, but NOT onto

  2. Option B:

    ff is onto, but NOT one-one

  3. Option C:

    ff is BOTH one-one and onto

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    ff is NEITHER one-one NOR onto

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

f(x)f(x) is odd, continuous function

f(x)={x(x−sin⁡x),x≥0−x(x−sin⁡x),x<0f(x)= \begin{cases}x(x-\sin x) & , \quad x \geq 0\\ -x(x-\sin x) & , x<0\end{cases}

for x≥0,f′(x)=2x−sin⁡x−xcos⁡x=x(1−cos⁡x)+(x−sin⁡x)≥0x \geq 0, f^{\prime}(x)=2 x-\sin x-x \cos x=x(1-\cos x)+(x-\sin x) \geq 0

for x<0,f′(x)=−2x+sin⁡x+xcos⁡x=x(cos⁡x−1)−(x−sin⁡x)>0x<0, f^{\prime}(x)=-2 x+\sin x+x \cos x=x(\cos x-1)-(x-\sin x)>0 as x<0x<0

⇒\Rightarrow So f(x)f(x) strictly increases in (−∞,∞)⇒f(x)(-\infty, \infty) \Rightarrow f(x) is one-one

x→∞,f(x)→∞x \rightarrow \infty ,\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \rightarrow \infty

x→−∞,f(x)→−∞x \rightarrow-\infty, f(x) \rightarrow-\infty. So f(x)f(x) is onto
