Q. Let $A=\{a, b, c\}$ and $B=\{1,2,3,4\}$. Then the number of elements in the set $C=\{f: A \rightarrow B \mid 2 \in f(A)$ and $f$ is not one-one $\}$ is_______.

JEE MainJEE Main 2020Relations and Functions - Part 2

Solution:

$C=\{f: A \rightarrow B \mid 2 \in f(A)$ and $f$ is not one-one $\}$
Case-I : If $f ( x )=2 \forall x \in$ A then number of function $=1$
Case-II : If $f(x)=2$ for exactly two elements then total number of many-one function $={ }^{3} C _{2}{ }^{3} C _{1}=9$
Case-III : If $f ( x )=2$ for exactly one element then total number of many-one
functions $={ }^{3} C _{1}{ }^{3} C _{1}=9$
Total $=19$
