Let S = (0,1) ∪ (1,2) ∪ (3,4) and T = {0,1, 2,3} . Then which of the following statements is(are) true?
- There are infinitely many functions from S to T
- There are infinitely many strictly increasing functions from S to T
- The number of continuous functions from S to T is at most 120
- Every continuous function from S to T is differentiable
The Correct Option is A, C, D
Approach Solution - 1
(1) There are infinitely many functions from S to T: This statement is true. Since the cardinality of set T is greater than the cardinality of set S, there are infinitely many possible mappings from S to T. Each element in S can be mapped to any element in T, allowing for a variety of different functions.
(2) There are infinitely many strictly increasing functions from S to T. This statement is false. Since the cardinality of T is finite, the number of strictly increasing functions from S to T is also finite. The size of the set T limits the number of possible strictly increasing mappings.
(3) The number of continuous functions from S to T is at most 120. This statement is true. To determine the number of continuous functions from S to T, we need to consider the number of possible mappings from the intervals in S to the elements in T while maintaining continuity. Each interval in S can be mapped to any subset of T containing one or more elements. Since there are three intervals in S, we have a total of 3 choices for mapping each interval. Therefore, the total number of continuous functions from S to T is at most 3^3 = 27, which is less than 120.
(4) There are many ways to assign a value of T to elements of domain, hence infinitely many functions will exist from set S to set T.
Approach Solution -2
Given :
S = (0, 1) ∪ (1, 2) ∪ (3, 4) and T = {0, 1, 2, 3}.
Let S be the domain and T be the co-domain of the function y = f(x).
Let's verify all the options :
(A) The domain S contains infinitely many elements, while the co-domain T has four elements.
There are infinitely many possible functions from S to T.
So, the option (A) is correct.
(B) If the number of elements in the domain is greater than the number of elements in the co-domain, then the number of strictly increasing functions is zero.
So, the option (B) is incorrect.
(C) The maximum number of continuous functions is \(4 \times 4 \times 4 = 64\), as each interval (0, 1), (1, 2), and (3, 4) has four possible choices.
∵ 64 < 120
So, the option (C) is correct.
(D) For every point where f(x) is continuous, f'(x) = 0. Every continuous function from S to T is differentiable.
So, the option (D) is correct.
Therefore, the correct options are (A), (C) and (D).

The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):

Sets
In mathematics, a set is a well-defined collection of objects. Sets are named and demonstrated using capital letter. In the set theory, the elements that a set comprises can be any sort of thing: people, numbers, letters of the alphabet, shapes, variables, etc.

Elements of a Set:
The items existing in a set are commonly known to be either elements or members of a set. The elements of a set are bounded in curly brackets separated by commas.
