Let S={1,2,3,4,5,6}S=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\} . Then the number of one-one functions f:S→P(S)f: \mathrm{S} \rightarrow \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{S}) , where P(S)\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{S}) denote the power set of S\mathrm{S} , such that f(n)⊂f( m)f(n) \subset f(\mathrm{~m}) where n < m is ____________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∵S=1,2,3,4,5,6\because S={1,2,3,4,5,6} and P(S)={ϕ,{1},{2},....,{1,2,3,4,5,6}}P(S) = \{ \phi ,\{ 1\} ,\{ 2\} ,....,\{ 1,2,3,4,5,6\} \}

f(n)f(n) corresponding a set having m elements which belongs to P(S), should be a subset of f(n+1)f(n+1) , so f(n+1)f(n+1) should be a subset of P(S) having at least m+1m+1 elements.

Now, if f(1) has one element then f(2) has 3, f(3) has 3 and so on and f(6) has 6 elements. Total number of possible functions = 6! = 720 .... (1)

If f(1) has no elements (i.e. null set ϕ\phi ) then

=2520= 2520 ..........(2)

From (1) and (2) : Total number of functions

= 2520 + 720 = 3240
