Question 9 |
Let A and B be sets with cardinalities m and n respectively. The number of one-one mappings (injections) from A to B, when m < n, is:
mn | |
nPm | |
mCn | |
nCm | |
mPn |
Question 9 Explanation:
Let,
A = {a1, a2, … am} and
B = {b1, b2, … bn}
A one-one function ‘f’ assigns each element ai of A a distinct element, bj=f(ai) of Bi for a, there are n choices, for a2 there are n-1 choices, for am there are (n-(m-1)) choices.
i.e.,

A = {a1, a2, … am} and
B = {b1, b2, … bn}
A one-one function ‘f’ assigns each element ai of A a distinct element, bj=f(ai) of Bi for a, there are n choices, for a2 there are n-1 choices, for am there are (n-(m-1)) choices.
i.e.,
Correct Answer: B
