Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Definition of Concept

Functions: It is a expression, rule or law which defines a relationship between one variable and another variables.

Step 2: Find the number of function from a set with m elements to a set with n element

(a)

Considering the given information:

Number of element =m

Number of element =n

Using the following concept:

Order of lexicography

The number of elements from a set with p element to a set with q element =p2 .

The number of elements transferred from a set with m element to a set with n element is

=n×n×..m

Therefore, the required number of function from a set with m elements to a set with n element =nm ..

Step 3: Find the number of functions from a set having 5 elements to a set having 10 elements 

(b)

Considering the given information:

Number of element =5

Number of set of element =10

Using the following concept:

Number of element m to a set with n=nm.

Here

n=10

m=5

Number of functions from a set having 5 elements to a set having 10 elements =105.

Therefore, the required number of functions from a set having 5 elements to a set having 10 elements =105 .

Step 4: Find the number of one-to-one functions from a set with m elements to a set with n elements

(c)

Considering the given information:

Number of element =m

Number of set of element =n

Using the following concept:

For a single input, a one to one function returns a single value.

Number of element of one to one function from a set with m elements to a set with n elements is n(n-1)(n-2)..(n-...+1)

If n=m

Total number =n(n-1)(n-2)..1

=n!

Therefore, the required total numbers are role="math" localid="1668680508265" n(n-1)(n-2)..(n-m+1) .

Step 5: Find the total number of one to one function

(d)

Considering the given information:

Number of set of element =5

Number of element in larger set = 10

Using the following concept:

Number of one to one functions from a set having m elements to a set having n element

=n(n-1)(n-2)..(n-m+1)

Here,

m=5

n=10

As a result, the number of one-to-one functions,

=10(101)(102)(103)(104)=10×9×8×7×6=30240

Therefore, the required total number of one to one functions is 30240 .

Step 6: Find the number of onto function

(e)

Considering the given information:

Number of set of element =5

Number of larger set =10

Using the following concept:

From a set with fewer elements to a set with more elements, the onto function cannot be defined.

Because the onto function cannot be defined from a set of fewer elements to a set of more elements.

As a result, the number of onto functions has increased from five to ten =0.

Therefore, the required total number is 0.
