Bijective Functions

Number of One-One and Onto Mappings

🎥 Video Explanation


📝 Question

Let set \(A\) have 5 elements and set \(B\) have 6 elements.

Find number of one-one and onto mappings from \(A\) to \(B\).

  • A. 720
  • B. 120
  • C. 0
  • D. none of these

✅ Solution

🔹 Step 1: Condition for Bijective Function

For a function to be one-one and onto (bijective):

Number of elements in domain = number of elements in codomain

🔹 Step 2: Compare Sizes

\[ |A|=5,\quad |B|=6 \]

Since sizes are different:

❌ Cannot be onto ❌ Cannot be bijective

🔹 Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{Option (C): 0}} \]
