If a function $f$ is not injective, can its inverse function be surjective?

89 Views Asked by At

Consider a function $f : A → B$ and assume that its inverse $f^{-1}$ is a function as well. Give an example of $A, B$, and $f$ such that $f$ is not injective but $f^{-1}$ is surjective.

These are the details of the question.

Is it possible? I do not know how to come up with an example of this.

Does anyone have any idea? Thanks!
