The function ; defined by the highest prime factor of n , is :
  1. (A)both one-one and onto
  2. (B)one-one only
  3. (C)onto only
  4. (D)neither one-one nor onto✓ Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

and (since has highest prime factor ), so two different inputs share an output — is not one-one.

No natural number has itself as its highest prime factor (since is not prime), so has no pre-image — is not onto either. is neither one-one nor onto.
