Explanation:

(c)

If Set A = {1, 2, 3 ………’m' elements} and Set B = {a, b, c. ………’n’ elements}

Then total number of relations = 2^mn

& Total no. of all possible functions = 𝑛^𝑚

(From set A to set B)

& Total number of all possible functions = 𝑚^𝑛

(From set B to set A)

As per the question,

A= [1,2,3} = 3 elements.

B = {a, b} = 2 elements.

∴ Total number of functions from set A to set B = 2^3 & Total number of relations = 2^2 × 3 = 2^6

∴ P(𝐸) = 2^3/2^6 =1/2^3 = 1/8 .
