Detailed Solution

Given f:AB and g:BC are bijective functions then we have  gof :AC is also a bijection

(gof)-1:CA a function and g-1:CB and f-1:BA

f-1og-1:CA

(gof)-1 and f-1og-1 have same domain ‘C’ Let cC. since g:BC is onto then there exist bB such that g(b)=c

g-1(c)=b

Since f:AB is onto for bB then there exists

aA such that f(a)=bf-1(b)=a

(gof)(a)=g(f(a))=g(b)=c

a=(gof)-1(c)1

f-1og-1(c)=f-1g-1(c)

=f-1(b)=a

f-1og-1(c)=a..2

Hence from  (1) & (2) (gof)-1=f-1og-1
