Why Practise These MCQs?

JEE MainJEE AdvancedCBSENEET

Functions MCQs are among the most frequently asked in JEE Main — 3 to 4 questions per paper, across domain-range, graph identification, and composition. CBSE places objective questions on types of functions every year. NEET includes real-world function modelling. This bank mirrors actual exam distribution.

Must-Know Formulae Before You Start

Recall these cold before attempting MCQs — they appear in >70% of questions.

$n(A×B) = n(A)·n(B)$
$(f∘g)(x) = f(g(x))$
$Domain of f+g = Dom(f) ∩ Dom(g)$
$|x| = x if x≥0; −x if x<0$

MCQ Solving Strategy

For domain questions, find restrictions (denominator ≠ 0, log argument > 0, square-root ≥ 0) and intersect all conditions. For function-type MCQs, check injective by assuming f(x₁)=f(x₂)⟹x₁=x₂ and surjective by ensuring range = codomain. Sketch graphs for modulus and GIF — it saves 30 seconds per question.

⚠ Common Traps & Errors

Difficulty Ladder

Work through each rung in order — do not jump to Hard before mastering Easy.

① Easy

Identify function vs relation, evaluate f(x), basic domain

② Medium

Domain-range of composite functions, identify one-one/onto

③ Hard

Nested composition, function algebra with restrictions

★ PYQ

JEE Main — piecewise domain/range; CBSE — graph-based identification

Frequently Asked Questions

An ordered pair is a pair of elements written as \((a, b)\), where the order matters. Two ordered pairs are equal if and only if their corresponding elements are equal.

The Cartesian product of sets \(A\) and \(B\), denoted \(A \times B\), is the set of all ordered pairs \((a, b)\) where \(a \in A\) and \(b \in B\).

If set \(A\) has \(m\) elements and set \(B\) has \(n\) elements, then \(A \times B\) has \(m \times n\) elements.

A relation from set \(A\) to set \(B\) is any subset of the Cartesian product \(A \times B\).

The domain is the set of all first elements of the ordered pairs belonging to the relation.

The range is the set of all second elements of the ordered pairs of a relation.

The codomain is the set from which the second elements of ordered pairs are taken, regardless of whether all elements appear in the relation or not.

A relation that contains no ordered pair is called an empty relation.

A relation that contains all possible ordered pairs of a Cartesian product is called a universal relation.

An identity relation on a set \(A\) consists of all ordered pairs \((a, a)\) for every \(a \in A\).

A relation is reflexive if every element of the set is related to itself, i.e., \((a, a)\) belongs to the relation for all \(a\).

A relation is symmetric if whenever \((a, b)\) belongs to the relation, \((b, a)\) also belongs to it.

A relation is transitive if whenever \((a, b)\) and \((b, c)\) belong to the relation, then \((a, c)\) must also belong to it.

A relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive is called an equivalence relation.

An equivalence class is the set of all elements related to a given element under an equivalence relation.
