Let $S = \{a, b, c\}$ and $T = \{1, 2, 3\}$. Find $F^{-1}$ of the following function $F$ from $S$ to $T$,if it exists: $F = \{(a, 2), (b, 1), (c, 1)\}$.
(D) Given $S = \{a, b, c\}$ and $T = \{1, 2, 3\}$.
The function $F : S \rightarrow T$ is defined as $F = \{(a, 2), (b, 1), (c, 1)\}$.
$A$ function is invertible if and only if it is both one-one (injective) and onto (surjective).
Here,$F(b) = 1$ and $F(c) = 1$. Since $F(b) = F(c)$ but $b \neq c$,the function $F$ is not one-one.
Because $F$ is not one-one,it is not a bijection.
Therefore,$F$ is not invertible,which means $F^{-1}$ does not exist.
