Correct answer: B

  1. We need the number of functions f:{1,2,3,4}→{1,2,3,4,5,6}f:\{1,2,3,4\}\to\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}f:{1,2,3,4}→{1,2,3,4,5,6} such that f(1)+f(2)=f(3).f(1)+f(2)=f(3).f(1)+f(2)=f(3).

  2. Let a=f(1),b=f(2),c=f(3),d=f(4).a=f(1),\quad b=f(2),\quad c=f(3),\quad d=f(4).a=f(1),b=f(2),c=f(3),d=f(4). Then:

    • a,b,c,d∈{1,2,3,4,5,6}a,b,c,d\in\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}a,b,c,d∈{1,2,3,4,5,6}
    • the condition becomes a+b=c.a+b=c.a+b=c.
  3. Since c∈{1,2,3,4,5,6}c\in\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}c∈{1,2,3,4,5,6}, we must have a+b≤6.a+b\le 6.a+b≤6. So we need to count ordered pairs (a,b)(a,b)(a,b) with a,b∈{1,2,3,4,5,6},a+b≤6.a,b\in\{1,2,3,4,5,6\},\quad a+b\le 6.a,b∈{1,2,3,4,5,6},a+b≤6.

  4. Count these ordered pairs:

    • If a=1a=1a=1, then b=1,2,3,4,5b=1,2,3,4,5b=1,2,3,4,5 gives 555 choices.
    • If a=2a=2a=2, then b=1,2,3,4b=1,2,3,4b=1,2,3,4 gives 444 choices.
    • If a=3a=3a=3, then b=1,2,3b=1,2,3b=1,2,3 gives 333 choices.
    • If a=4a=4a=4, then b=1,2b=1,2b=1,2 gives 222 choices.
    • If a=5a=5a=5, then b=1b=1b=1 gives 111 choice.
    • If a=6a=6a=6, then no value of b≥1b\ge 1b≥1 works.

    Total number of ordered pairs: 5+4+3+2+1=15.5+4+3+2+1=15.5+4+3+2+1=15.

  5. For each such pair (a,b)(a,b)(a,b), the value of c=f(3)c=f(3)c=f(3) is uniquely determined as c=a+b.c=a+b.c=a+b.

  6. Now f(4)=df(4)=df(4)=d is unrestricted, so it can be any of the 666 values in the codomain.

  7. Hence total number of functions is 15×6=90.15\times 6=90.15×6=90.

  8. Therefore, the correct option is B: 90.\boxed{\text{B: }90}.B: 90​.

  9. Comparison with stored correct answer:

    • Stored correct answer: B\text{B}B
    • Derived answer: B\text{B}B
    • They agree.
