The correct answer is: one-one but not onto
Here,  f:0, 0, , i.e. domain is (0, ) and codomain is 0, .

For one-one, fx=x1+x

   f x=11+x2>0,  x0, 

∴   f(x) is increasing in its domain. Thus, f(x) is one-one in its domain.

For onto (we find range)

fx=x1+x  y=x1+x ⇒ y+yx=x

⇒   x=y1-y ⇒ y1-y0 as x0 0y<1

i.e., Range  Codomain

∴   fx is one-one but not onto.
