Let $f:A \to B, g:B \to C$. I don't really know how to prove this but I understand what it means.
Prove: If $g\circ f$ is $1-1$ and $f$ is onto, then $g$ is $1-1.$

0As a general hint with these types of problems see what happens if you assume the conclusion is false. – 2012-03-05

Assume not.
Then there exist $a,b$ with $a \neq b$ s.t. $g(a) = g(b)$. $f$ onto means there exist $c,d$ s.t. $f(c) = a, f(d) = b$. But then...
Does that help?
