If the value of $n(Y)+n(Z)$ is $k^2$, then $|k|$ is Let \(S=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}\) and \(X\) be the set of all relations \(R\) from \(S\) to \(S\) that satisfy both the following properties: i. \(R\) has exactly 6 elements. ii. For each $(a, b) \in R$, we have $|a-b| \geq 2$ Let \(Y=\{R \in X\) : The range of \(R\) has exactly one element \(\}\) and \(Z=\{R \in X: R\) is a function from \(S\) to \(S\}\). Let \(n(A)\) denote the number of elements in a set \(A\).

Solution

given $|a-b| \geq 2$ so if i.e. Total elements in $\mathrm{X}$ is ${ }^{20} \mathrm{C}_6$ Now for $\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{Y})$, range of $\mathrm{R}$ has exactly one element i.e. second elements must be constant in $\mathrm{R}$ and since $\mathrm{R}$ must have 6 element so it is not possible to satisfy both condition so $\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{Y})=0$. $\begin{aligned} & \text { for } \quad n(z) \\ & 1 \rightarrow 3,4,5,6 \\ & 2 \rightarrow 4,5,6 \\ & 3 \rightarrow 1,5,6 \\ & 4 \rightarrow 1,2,6 \\ & 5 \rightarrow 1,2,3 \\ & 6 \rightarrow 1,2,3,4 \\ & \end{aligned}$ no. of relation that are function will be $\quad={ }^4 \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^3 \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^3 \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^3 \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^3 \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^4 \mathrm{C}_1$ $\begin{aligned} & =(4 \times 3 \times 3)^2=k^2 \\ & \text { i.e. } \mathrm{k}=36\end{aligned}$
