Injective Functions

Number of One-One Functions

🎥 Video Explanation


📝 Question

Set \(A\) has 7 elements and set \(B\) has 10 elements.

Find number of one-one functions from \(A\) to \(B\).

  • (a) \({}^{10}C_7\)
  • (b) \({}^{10}C_7 \times 7!\)
  • (c) \(7^{10}\)
  • (d) \(10^7\)

✅ Solution

🔹 Step 1: Formula for One-One Functions

Number of injective functions from \(n\) elements to \(m\) elements:

\[ {}^mP_n = \frac{m!}{(m-n)!} \] —

🔹 Step 2: Apply Values

\[ {}^{10}P_7 = \frac{10!}{3!} \]

🔹 Step 3: Match with Options

\[ {}^{10}P_7 = {}^{10}C_7 \times 7! \]

🔹 Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{Option (b)}} \]
