The total number of functions, f: \ 1, 2, 3, 4\ → \ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,...

The total number of functions, f:{1,2,3,4}→{1,2,3,4,5,6}f: \left\{1, 2, 3, 4\right\} \to \left\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\right\} such that f(1)+f(2)=f(3)f\left(1\right) + f\left(2\right) = f\left(3\right), is equal to

Correct answer

B. 9090

Step-by-step solution

Given, f(1)+f(2)=f(3)</p><p>Nowpossiblevaluesf\left(1\right) + f\left(2\right) = f\left(3\right)</p><p>Now possible values of f\left(3\right)areare2, 3, 4, 5 and 6(itcannotbe(it cannot be1asminimumvalueas minimum valuef(1) and  \left(1\right)\text{\text{ and } } f\left(2\right) is 11, so 1+1=21 + 1 = 2 )

For each kk, if f(3)f\left(3\right) = kthentherewillbe(k−1)setthen there will be \left(k - 1\right) set of values forf\left(1\right)andf(2)and f\left(2\right)

For example if f(3)=3f\left(3\right) = 3 then possible value of f(1) and f(2)f\left(1\right) \text{ and } f\left(2\right) will be \left(1, 2\right)\text{or}\left(2, 1\right) ⇒ 2values</p><p>Similarlyforvalues </p><p>Similarly forf\left(3\right) = 4,possiblevalueswillbe(1,3),(3,1),(2,2)⇒3, possible values will be \left(1, 3\right), \left(3, 1\right), \left(2, 2\right) ⇒3 values.

And so on.

So number of possible combinations of f(1),f(2)andf(3)f\left(1\right), f\left(2\right) and f\left(3\right) are 1+2+3+4+5=151 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

And for each value of f(3)therewillbef\left(3\right) there will be6possiblevalueofpossible value off\left(4\right),sototalcaseswillbe, so total cases will be15 \times 6 = 90
