The correct answer is: only I, III
Since, f:RR such that fx=3-x

Let y1 and y2 be two elements of f(x) such that y1=y2

       3-x1=3-x2     x1=x2

Since, if two images are equal, then their elements are equal, therefore it is one-one function.

Since, f(x) is positive for every value of x, therefore f(x) is into.

On differentiating w.r.t. x, we get dydx=-3-xlog3<0 for every value of x.

It is decreasing function.

Statement I and III are true.
