Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given one-one function

f:{a,b,c,d}→{0,1,2,  ....  10}f:\{ a,b,c,d\} \to \{ 0,1,2,\,\,....\,\,10\}

and 2f(a)−f(b)+3f(c)+f(d)=02f(a) - f(b) + 3f(c) + f(d) = 0

⇒3f(c)+2f(a)+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 3f(c) + 2f(a) + f(d) = f(b)

Case I:

(1) Now let f(c)=0f(c) = 0 and f(a)=1f(a) = 1 then

3×0+2×1+f(d)=f(b)3 \times 0 + 2 \times 1 + f(d) = f(b)

⇒2+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 2 + f(d) = f(b)

Now possible value of f(d)=2,3,4,5,6,7,f(d) = 2,3,4,5,6,7, and 88 .

f(d) can't be 9 and 10 as if f(d)=9f(d) = 9 or 10 then f(b)=2+9=11f(b) = 2 + 9 = 11 or f(b)=2+10=12f(b) = 2 + 10 = 12 , which is not possible as here any function's maximum value can be 10.

∴\therefore Total possible functions when f(c)=0f(c) = 0 and f(a)=1f(a) = 1 are = 7

(2) When f(c)=0f(c) = 0 and f(a)=2f(a) = 2 then

3×0+2×2+f(d)=f(b)3 \times 0 + 2 \times 2 + f(d) = f(b)

⇒4+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 4 + f(d) = f(b)

∴\therefore possible value of f(d)=1,3,4,5,6f(d) = 1,3,4,5,6

∴\therefore Total possible functions in this case = 5

(3) When f(c)=0f(c) = 0 and f(a)=3f(a) = 3 then

3×0+2×3+f(d)=f(b)3 \times 0 + 2 \times 3 + f(d) = f(b)

⇒6+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 6 + f(d) = f(b)

∴\therefore Possible value of f(d)=1,2,4f(d) = 1,2,4

∴\therefore Total possible functions in this case = 3

(4) When f(c)=0f(c) = 0 and f(a)=4f(a) = 4 then

3×0+2×4+f(d)=f(b)3 \times 0 + 2 \times 4 + f(d) = f(b)

⇒8+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 8 + f(d) = f(b)

∴\therefore Possible value of f(d)=1,2f(d) = 1,2

∴\therefore Total possible functions in this case = 2

(5) When f(c)=0f(c) = 0 and f(a)=5f(a) = 5 then

3×0+2×5+f(d)=f(b)3 \times 0 + 2 \times 5 + f(d) = f(b)

⇒10+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 10 + f(d) = f(b)

Possible value of f(d) can be 0 but f(c) is already zero. So, no value to f(d) can satisfy.

∴\therefore No function is possible in this case.

∴\therefore Total possible functions when f(c)=0f(c) = 0 and f(a)=1,2,3f(a) = 1,2,3 and 44 are =7+5+3+2=17= 7 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 17

Case II:

(1) When f(c)=1f(c) = 1 and f(a)=0f(a) = 0 then

3×1+2×0+f(d)=f(b)3 \times 1 + 2 \times 0 + f(d) = f(b)

⇒3+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 3 + f(d) = f(b)

∴\therefore Possible value of f(d)=2,3,4,5,6,7f(d) = 2,3,4,5,6,7

∴\therefore Total possible functions in this case = 6

(2) When f(c)=1f(c) = 1 and f(a)=2f(a) = 2 then

3×1+2×2+f(d)=f(b)3 \times 1 + 2 \times 2 + f(d) = f(b)

⇒7+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 7 + f(d) = f(b)

∴\therefore Possible value of f(d)=0,3f(d) = 0,3

∴\therefore Total possible functions in this case = 2

(3) When f(c)=1f(c) = 1 and f(a)=3f(a) = 3 then

3×1+2×3+f(d)=f(b)3 \times 1 + 2 \times 3 + f(d) = f(b)

⇒9+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 9 + f(d) = f(b)

∴\therefore Possible value of f(d)=0f(d) = 0

∴\therefore Total possible functions in this case = 1

∴\therefore Total possible functions when f(c)=1f(c) = 1 and f(a)=0,2f(a) = 0,2 and 33 are

=6+2+1=9= 6 + 2 + 1 = 9

Case III:

(1) When f(c)=2f(c) = 2 and f(a)=0f(a) = 0 then

3×2+2×0+f(d)=f(b)3 \times 2 + 2 \times 0 + f(d) = f(b)

⇒6+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 6 + f(d) = f(b)

∴\therefore Possible values of f(d)=1,3,4f(d) = 1,3,4

∴\therefore Total possible functions in this case = 3

(2) When f(c)=2f(c) = 2 and f(a)=1f(a) = 1 then,

3×2+2×1+f(d)=f(b)3 \times 2 + 2 \times 1 + f(d) = f(b)

⇒8+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 8 + f(d) = f(b)

∴\therefore Possible values of f(d)=0f(d) = 0

∴\therefore Total possible function in this case = 1

∴\therefore Total possible functions when f(c)=2f(c) = 2 and f(a)=0,1f(a) = 0,1 are

=3+1=4= 3 + 1 = 4

Case IV:

(1) When f(c)=3f(c) = 3 and f(a)=0f(a) = 0 then

3×3+2×0+f(d)=f(b)3 \times 3 + 2 \times 0 + f(d) = f(b)

⇒9+f(d)=f(b)\Rightarrow 9 + f(d) = f(b)

∴\therefore Possible values of f(d)=1f(d) = 1

∴\therefore Total one-one functions from four cases

=17+9+4+1=31= 17 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 31
