Let A and B be finite sets and PA and PB, respectively denote their power sets. If PB has 112 elements more than those in PA, then the number of functions from A to B which are injective is
  1. 224
  2. 56
  3. 120
  4. 840

Solution

Consider NA=m and NB=n

PB has 112 elements more than PA

NPB=112+NPA

NPB-NPA=112

2n-2m=16×7

Rewrite the above equation.

2m2n-m-1=16×7

2m2n-m-1=2423-1

From the above equation

m=4

n-m=3

n-4=3

n=7

The number of injective function from A to B

=PN(A)N(B)

=P47

=7!3!

=840
