Correct answer: C

  1. Find xxx

Let ∣A∣=3|A|=3∣A∣=3 and ∣B∣=5|B|=5∣B∣=5.

The number of one-one (injective) functions from AAA to BBB is the number of ways to assign distinct images in BBB to the 333 elements of AAA:

x=5P3=5⋅4⋅3=60.x = {}^{5}P_{3} = 5\cdot 4\cdot 3 = 60.x=5P3​=5⋅4⋅3=60.

  1. Find yyy

We need the number of one-one functions from AAA to A×BA\times BA×B.

Now,

∣A×B∣=∣A∣⋅∣B∣=3⋅5=15.|A\times B| = |A|\cdot |B| = 3\cdot 5 = 15.∣A×B∣=∣A∣⋅∣B∣=3⋅5=15.

So the number of injective functions from a 3-element set to a 15-element set is:

y=15P3=15⋅14⋅13=2730.y = {}^{15}P_{3} = 15\cdot 14\cdot 13 = 2730.y=15P3​=15⋅14⋅13=2730.

  1. Compare xxx and yyy

yx=273060=45.5=912.\frac{y}{x} = \frac{2730}{60} = 45.5 = \frac{91}{2}.xy​=602730​=45.5=291​.

Thus,

y=912xy = \frac{91}{2}xy=291​x

or equivalently,

2y=91x.2y = 91x.2y=91x.

  1. Check options
  • A: 2y=273x2y=273x2y=273x ❌
  • B: y=91xy=91xy=91x ❌
  • C: 2y=91x2y=91x2y=91x ✅
  • D: y=273xy=273xy=273x ❌

Therefore, the correct option is C.
