If g∘f is one-one, what can be concluded?

Answer: f must be one-one, but g need not be.

  • A Neither f nor g need be one-one
  • B f must be one-one, but g need not be
  • C g must be one-one, but f need not be
  • D Both f and g must be one-one

Correct answer: B. f must be one-one, but g need not be

Explanation: If f(x₁) = f(x₂) then g(f(x₁)) = g(f(x₂)), forcing x₁ = x₂; g can still collapse points outside the range of f.

Concept context
