All One-One Functions from \(A=\{1,2,3\}\) to Itself

📺 Video Explanation

📝 Question

Let:

\[ A=\{1,2,3\} \]

Write all one-one functions from \(A\) to itself.


✅ Solution

Since domain and codomain both have 3 elements, every one-one function is a permutation of \(\{1,2,3\}\).

Total number of one-one functions:

\[ 3!=6 \]


🔹 All One-One Functions

1.

\[ f_1=\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)\} \]

2.

\[ f_2=\{(1,1),(2,3),(3,2)\} \]

3.

\[ f_3=\{(1,2),(2,1),(3,3)\} \]

4.

\[ f_4=\{(1,2),(2,3),(3,1)\} \]

5.

\[ f_5=\{(1,3),(2,1),(3,2)\} \]

6.

\[ f_6=\{(1,3),(2,2),(3,1)\} \]


🎯 Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{Total one-one functions }=6} \]

These are all possible one-one mappings from \(A\) to itself.


🚀 Exam Shortcut

  • One-one from finite set to itself = permutations
  • For 3 elements: total = \(3!=6\)
  • List all arrangements systematically
