Question

Let a function f : N $\to$ N be defined by

$$f(n) = \left[ {\matrix{ {2n,} & {n = 2,4,6,8,......} \cr {n - 1,} & {n = 3,7,11,15,......} \cr {{{n + 1} \over 2},} & {n = 1,5,9,13,......} \cr } } \right.$$

then, f is

one-one but not onto

onto but not one-one

neither one-one nor onto

one-one and onto
