f(1, 1) = 1
So total number of onto function which

satisfies given conditions = 9 × 9 f (1, 2 )= 1 + and f ( 2, 1)= 1 +

So, f(1, 2) = f(2, 1) = 2
Similarly f(3, 1) = f(1, 3) = 3
⇒ f(x, y) = xy for all x, y ∈W

= 0. Hence there is no y ≠ 0 such that f(y) = 0.
Put x = y = 0; we get f(0)2 = 4f(0)2 and hence
f(0) = 0. We conclude that f(x) = x2 for all x.

Put x = y; we get 4f(x)2 – 4x2f(x) = 0 for all x. Thus there are two solutions: f(x) = 0 for all x
or f(x) = x2, for all x. It is easy to verify that both
Hence for each x, either f(x) = 0 or f(x) = x2.
these satisfy the functional equation.
Suppose f(x) ≡/ 0. Then we can find x0 ≠ 0

such that f(x0) ≠ 0. Then f(x0) = x 2 ≠ 0 .
