Consider the sets A={(x,y)∈R×R:x2+y2=25}, B={(x,y)∈R×R:x2+9y2=144}, C={(x,y)∈Z×Z:x2+y2≤4}, and D=A∩B. The total number of one-one functions from the set D to the set C is:
(A)15120
(B)19320
(C)17160✓ Correct
(D)18290
Answer: (C)
Solution
The circle x2+y2=25 and the ellipse 144x2+16y2=1 meet where both equations hold together. Replacing x2 by 25−y2 in x2+9y2=144 gives 25+8y2=144, so y2=8119 and x2=881. Each of x and y then takes two signs, so the intersection D has four points. The set C of integer points with x2+y2≤4 contains 5 points on x=0, 3 each on x=±1 and 1 each on x=±2, which is 13 points in all. A one-one map from the 4 points of D into the 13 points of C can be made in 13×12×11×10 ways, which equals 17160.
