Let A={x : −1≤x≤1} and f : A→A such that f(x)=x|x|, then f is

Injectivity:
Let x and y be any two elements in the domain A.

Case-1: Let x and y be two positive numbers, such that

$f(x)=f(y)$

$\Rightarrow x|x|=y|y|$

$\Rightarrow x(x)=y(y)$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}=y^{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=y$

Case-2: Let x and y be two negative numbers, such that

$f(x)=f(y)$

$\Rightarrow x|x|=y|y|$

$\Rightarrow x(-x)=y(-y)$

$\Rightarrow-x^{2}=-y^{2}$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}=y^{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=y$

Case-3: Let x be positive and y be negative.

Then, $x \neq y$

$\Rightarrow f(x)=x|x|$ is positive and $f(y)=y|y|$ is negative

$\Rightarrow f(x) \neq f(y)$

So, $x \neq y$

$\Rightarrow f(x) \neq f(y)$

So, $f$ is one-one.

Surjectivity:
Let y be an element in the co-domain, such that y = f (x)

Case-1: Let $y>0 .$ Then, $0

$y=f(x)=x|x|>0$

$\Rightarrow x>0$

$\Rightarrow|x|=x$

$\Rightarrow f(x)=y$

$\Rightarrow x|x|=y$

$\Rightarrow x(x)=y$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}=y$

$\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{y} \in A($ We do not get $\pm$, as $x>0)$

Case-2: Let $y<0 .$ Then, $-1 \leq y<0$

$y=f(x)=x|x|<0$

$\Rightarrow x<0$

$\Rightarrow|x|=-x$

$\Rightarrow f(x)=y$

$\Rightarrow x|x|=y$

$\Rightarrow x(-x)=y$

$\Rightarrow-x^{2}=y$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}=-y$

$\Rightarrow x=-\sqrt{-y} \in A($ We do not get $\pm$, as $x>0)$

$\Rightarrow f$ is onto

$\Rightarrow f$ is a bijection.

So, the answer is (a).
