Question
Show that the logarithmic function $\text{f}:\text{R}0^+\rightarrow \text{R}$ given by $f(x) = \log_a x, a > 0$ is a bijection.

Answer

We have, $f : A \rightarrow B$ and $g : B \rightarrow C$ are one-one functions.
Now we have to prove: $gof : A \rightarrow C$ in one-one.
Let $\text{x, y}\in\text{A}$ such that
$gof(x) = gof(y)$
$\Rightarrow g(f(x)) = g(f(y))$
$\Rightarrow f(x) = f(y) [\because g$ in one-one$]$
$\Rightarrow x = y [\because f$ in one-one$]$
$\therefore$ gof is one-one function.

Urn $A$ contains $1$ white, $2$ black and $3$ red balls; urn $B$ contains $2$ white, $1$ black and $1$ red ball; and urn $C$ contains $4$ white, $5$ black and $3$ red balls. One urn is chosen at random and two balls are drawn. These happen to be one white and one red. What is the probability that they come from urn $A$?
Three machines $E_1, E_2, E_3$ in a certain factory produce $50 \%, 25 \%$ and $25 \%$, respectively, of the total daily output of electric bulbs. It is known that $4 \%$ of the tubes produced one each of the machines $E _1$ and $E _2$ are defective, and that $5 \%$ of those produced on $E_3$ are defective. If one tube is picked up at random from a day's production, then calculate the probability that it is defective.
