The correct answer is:
one-one and onto both.
one-one and onto both.
$f: N \rightarrow 1$
$f(1)=0, f(2)=-1, f(3)=-1, f(4)=-2$
$f(5)=2$, and $f(6)=-3$ so on.

In this type of function every element of set $\mathrm{A}$ has unique image in set $\mathrm{B}$ and there is no element left in set $\mathrm{B}$. Hence $\mathrm{f}$ is one-one and onto function.
