Detailed Solution

Given f:AB be a function

Case(i): If f is bijection then prove fog=IB and gof=IA in this case g=f-1 

Since f:AB is a bijection 

f-1:BA is also a bijection and we know that f-1 of =IA, fof -1=IB 

Now take g=f-1

gof=IA and fog=IB

Case (ii) :

Conversely assume that there exists a function 

g:BA such that gof=IAand fog=IB

Then we have to prove f  is bijection and g=f-1 

Let a1,a2A

fa1,fa2B (f:AB is a function)

Let fa1=fa2 

gfa1=gfa2 (g:BA is a function )

(gof)a1=( gof )a2IAa1=IAa2

a1=a2 

 f is one-one 

Let bB

g(b)=aA(g:BA is a function )

f(a)=f(g(b))=(fog)(b)=IB(b)=b

f is onto 

f is both one-one &onto

f:AB is bijection and is invertible function so f-1:BA is bijective

g and f-1 have same domain B

Let bB since f:AB is onto, then there exists aA such that f(a)=b 

f-1(b)=a

Now g(b)=g(f(a))

                 =(gof)(a)=IA(a)

                =(gof)(a)=IA(a)

Hence g=f-1
