Relations and Functions

Question:

Let A = {1, 2} and B = {3, 4}. Find the number of relations from A to B.

Options:

$2^2$

$2^3$

$2^4$

None of these

Correct Answer:

$2^4$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $2^4$

We have,

A × B = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)}.

Since $n (A×B) = 4$, the number of subsets of $A×B$ is $2^4$. Therefore, the number of relations from A into B will be $2^4$.
