Correct answer: B
- Understand the domain and codomain
The set has all odd numbers from to , so it contains elements.
Similarly, the codomain also has elements.
Since is bijective, it is simply a permutation of the even numbers.
- Identify the constrained inputs
We are given
The inputs involved are:
This is an arithmetic progression with first term , common difference , and last term .
Number of terms:
So there are 17 special domain elements whose images must appear in non-increasing order.
- Count bijections satisfying the order restriction
We must assign distinct even numbers to these 17 inputs.
-
First, choose which 17 values from the 50 even numbers will be used for This can be done in ways.
-
Once these 17 values are chosen, because of the condition and all values are distinct (since is bijective), their arrangement is forced: they must be placed in strictly decreasing order.
So for the constrained 17 positions, there is exactly valid arrangement after choosing the values.
- The remaining domain elements can be assigned the remaining 33 even numbers in any order: ways.
Hence total number of bijections is
Now simplify:
Since this matches the above count.
