Correct answer: C, 1/30
- Total number of one-one functions
A one-one function from to assigns distinct values to .
So the total number of injective functions is
- Condition to be satisfied
We need
Let
where are distinct elements of .
Then the condition becomes
We must count the number of ordered 4-tuples of distinct numbers from satisfying this equation.
- Count favorable cases by choosing
Since
all of must lie in and be distinct from each other and from .
We check possible values of .
Case 1:
Then
Here must be distinct and chosen from .
Check ordered pairs from , :
- If , then , giving values for — not allowed.
- If , then , giving for — invalid/distinctness fails.
- If , then , giving for — invalid/distinctness fails.
- If , then , giving for ; valid cases are:
So for , favorable cases = .
Case 2:
Then
Now are distinct and chosen from .
Check ordered pairs :
- : gives values for — invalid.
- : gives for — invalid.
- : gives for ; valid:
- : gives for — invalid.
So for , favorable cases = .
Case 3:
Then
Now are distinct and chosen from .
Check ordered pairs:
- : gives for ; valid:
- : gives for ; valid: not distinct, others invalid
- : gives for ; valid: not distinct
- : gives — invalid
So only one valid case:
Thus for , favorable cases = .
Case 4:
Then
Now are distinct and chosen from .
Check ordered pairs:
- : gives — invalid
- : gives — invalid except gives not distinct
- : gives — invalid
- : gives — invalid
So for , favorable cases = .
Case 5:
Then
Now are distinct and chosen from .
But , so .
Hence favorable cases = .
- Total favorable functions
Thus total favorable cases are
- Probability
Therefore,
So the correct option is
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer is D: .
But our careful counting gives
So I disagree with the stored answer.
