Key Concepts and Formulas
- One-One Map (Injective Function): A function is one-one if distinct elements in the domain map to distinct elements in the codomain . That is, if for , then .
- Number of One-One Maps: If and with , the total number of one-one maps from to is given by the number of permutations of items taken at a time, denoted as or , where .
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Understand the Given Sets and the Constraint We are given the domain and the codomain . The size of the domain is . The size of the codomain is . We need to find the number of one-one maps such that .
Step 2: Identify Valid Pairs for and from Set Since is a one-one map, and must be distinct elements from set . We need to find pairs of distinct elements from such that . Let's examine elements of : . \begin{itemize} \item If , then . Both . This is a valid pair. \item If , then . Both . This is a valid pair. \item If , then . . This is not a valid pair. \item If , then . For a one-one map, , so this is not valid. \item If , then . . This is not a valid pair. \item If , then . Both . This is a valid pair. \item If , then . Both . This is a valid pair. \end{itemize} The possible pairs of values for are and .
Step 3: Calculate the Number of One-One Maps for Each Valid Pair Case We have two mutually exclusive cases based on the pairs identified in Step 2.
Case 1: In this case, and must be assigned the values and . There are ways to assign these values: \begin{enumerate} \item and \item and \end{enumerate} After assigning values to and , two distinct elements from are used. The remaining elements in are , which are elements. The remaining elements in are elements. We need to map the remaining 3 elements of to the remaining 5 elements of in a one-one manner. The number of ways to do this is given by the permutation formula : So, for Case 1, the total number of one-one maps is the product of the number of ways to assign and the number of ways to map the remaining elements: Number of maps for Case 1 = .
Case 2: Similarly, and must be assigned the values and . There are ways to assign these values: \begin{enumerate} \item and \item and \end{enumerate} Again, two distinct elements from are used. The remaining 3 elements of need to be mapped to the remaining 5 elements of one-one. The number of ways is : So, for Case 2, the total number of one-one maps is: Number of maps for Case 2 = .
Step 4: Calculate the Total Number of One-One Maps Since Case 1 and Case 2 are mutually exclusive, we add the number of maps from each case to find the total number of one-one maps satisfying the condition: Total number of one-one maps = Number of maps for Case 1 + Number of maps for Case 2 Total number of one-one maps = .
Common Mistakes & Tips
- Distinctness for One-One: Always ensure that when . This was crucial in ruling out .
- Order Matters for Assignments: When assigning specific values to specific domain elements (like and ), the order matters. For each pair of values, there are ways to assign them.
- Set Membership: Verify that all mapped values are indeed elements of the codomain .
Summary We identified pairs of distinct elements in that sum to 14, finding two such pairs: and . For each pair, there are 2 ways to assign these values to and . The remaining 3 elements of must be mapped one-one to the remaining 5 elements of , which can be done in ways. Summing the possibilities for both pairs gives a total of one-one maps.
The final answer is , which corresponds to option (C).
