Let S=1,2,3,4,5,6.S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 } . Then the probability that a randomly chosen onto function gg from SS to SS satisfies gg\left(3\right) = 2g(1)\left(1\right) is :

Options

  1. A115\dfrac{1}{15}
  2. B15\dfrac{1}{5}
  3. C130\dfrac{1}{30}
  4. D110\dfrac{1}{10}

Correct answer

D. 110\dfrac{1}{10}

Step-by-step solution

Given:S={1,2,3,4,5,6}S = \left\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\right\}

Total number of onto functions from SS tto SS=6!= 6 !

Now, for g(3)=2gg\left(3\right) = 2g\left(1\right):</p><p>:</p><p>\begin{cases}g\left(3\right) & g\left(1\right) \\ 2 & 1 \\ 4 & 2 \\ 6 & 3\end{cases}</p><p></p><p>∴ {g(3)=2g(1)\begin{cases}g\left(3\right) = & 2g\left(1\right)\end{cases}canbedefinedincan be defined in3ways.</p><p>ways.</p><p>g\left(2\right), g\left(4\right), g\left(5\right)\text{\text{ and }}g\left(6\right)canbeanythingandcanbedefinedincan be anything and can be defined in4 !ways.</p><p>ways.</p><p>∴Numberofontofunctionsforwhich[g(3)=2g(1)]=3.4!Number of onto functions for which \left[g\left(3\right) = 2g\left(1\right)\right] = 3 . 4 !

Now required probability=3.4!6!=3×4!30×4!=110= \dfrac{3 . 4 !}{6 !} = \dfrac{3 \times 4 !}{30 \times 4 !} = \dfrac{1}{10}
