As we learnt

INVERTIBLE FUNCTION 

A function f? X → Y is invertible if and only if f is a bijective function.

 

Now,

Clearly (c) and (d) are ruled out as they are many-one functions.

Also f\left ( x \right )= \frac{x}{2} is one-one but not onto as its range is [-1/2 , 1/2]

g(x) = x is both one-one and onto, hence it is invertible
