Correct answer: D

  1. We are given f(x)=x2, x∈Rf(x)=x^2,\, x\in\mathbb Rf(x)=x2,x∈R and for any subset A⊆RA\subseteq \mathbb RA⊆R, g(A)={x∈R:f(x)∈A}={x∈R:x2∈A}.g(A)=\{x\in\mathbb R: f(x)\in A\}=\{x\in\mathbb R: x^2\in A\}.g(A)={x∈R:f(x)∈A}={x∈R:x2∈A}.

Also, S=[0,4].S=[0,4].S=[0,4]. We must determine which statement is not true.


  1. First compute f(S)f(S)f(S).

Since S=[0,4]S=[0,4]S=[0,4] and f(x)=x2f(x)=x^2f(x)=x2, we get f(S)={x2:x∈[0,4]}=[0,16].f(S)=\{x^2:x\in[0,4]\}=[0,16].f(S)={x2:x∈[0,4]}=[0,16].


  1. Now compute g(S)g(S)g(S).

By definition, g(S)={x∈R:x2∈[0,4]}.g(S)=\{x\in\mathbb R:x^2\in[0,4]\}.g(S)={x∈R:x2∈[0,4]}. This means 0≤x2≤4  ⟹  ∣x∣≤2.0\le x^2\le 4 \implies |x|\le 2.0≤x2≤4⟹∣x∣≤2. Hence, g(S)=[−2,2].g(S)=[-2,2].g(S)=[−2,2].


  1. Compute g(f(S))g(f(S))g(f(S)).

Since f(S)=[0,16]f(S)=[0,16]f(S)=[0,16], g(f(S))={x∈R:x2∈[0,16]}.g(f(S))=\{x\in\mathbb R:x^2\in[0,16]\}.g(f(S))={x∈R:x2∈[0,16]}. So, 0≤x2≤16  ⟹  ∣x∣≤4.0\le x^2\le 16 \implies |x|\le 4.0≤x2≤16⟹∣x∣≤4. Therefore, g(f(S))=[−4,4].g(f(S))=[-4,4].g(f(S))=[−4,4].


  1. Compute f(g(S))f(g(S))f(g(S)).

We found g(S)=[−2,2]g(S)=[-2,2]g(S)=[−2,2]. Then f(g(S))=f([−2,2])={x2:x∈[−2,2]}=[0,4].f(g(S))=f([-2,2])=\{x^2:x\in[-2,2]\}=[0,4].f(g(S))=f([−2,2])={x2:x∈[−2,2]}=[0,4]. Thus, f(g(S))=S.f(g(S))=S.f(g(S))=S. So option B is true.


  1. Check option C: f(g(S))⊆f(S)f(g(S))\subseteq f(S)f(g(S))⊆f(S).

We have f(g(S))=[0,4],f(S)=[0,16].f(g(S))=[0,4],\qquad f(S)=[0,16].f(g(S))=[0,4],f(S)=[0,16]. Clearly, [0,4]⊆[0,16].[0,4]\subseteq[0,16].[0,4]⊆[0,16]. So option C is true.


  1. Check option D: g(f(S))=g(S)g(f(S))=g(S)g(f(S))=g(S).

We have g(f(S))=[−4,4],g(S)=[−2,2].g(f(S))=[-4,4],\qquad g(S)=[-2,2].g(f(S))=[−4,4],g(S)=[−2,2]. These are not equal. So option D is false.


  1. Check option A. The printed symbol appears as "eee", which from context is intended to mean either "⊆\subseteq⊆" or "∈\in∈". Let us check both possibilities:
  • If option A means g(f(S))⊆S,g(f(S))\subseteq S,g(f(S))⊆S, then [−4,4]⊆[0,4][-4,4]\subseteq[0,4][−4,4]⊆[0,4] is false.

  • If option A means g(f(S))∈S,g(f(S))\in S,g(f(S))∈S, then this is also false, because g(f(S))=[−4,4]g(f(S))=[-4,4]g(f(S))=[−4,4] is a set, not a real number in [0,4][0,4][0,4].

So as written, A is also not true.


  1. Conclusion.

From the actual set computations:

  • BBB is true,
  • CCC is true,
  • DDD is false,
  • and AAA as printed is also false.

Hence the question statement has an issue in option A. Among the standard intended options, the clearly false set-identity statement is D.\boxed{D}.D​.
