The correct answer is: f must be surjective but need not be injective

Let hx=gfx where, gx is injective and hx is surjective. hx is surjective.



Codomain of hx= Range of hx



Range of hx=0,2 which is also codomain of g. So, must be surjective.



Now, domain of g=-1,1 which must be range of f. But codomain of f=-1,1



So, it must be surjective.
