Correct answer
C2y = 91x
Step-by-step explanation
Number of elements in A = 3
Number of elements in B = 5
Number of elements in A B = 15

Number of one-one function
x = 5 4 3
x = 60

Number of one-one function
y = 15 14 13
y = 15 4 13
y = 60 13
2y = (13)(7x)
2y = 91x
Number of elements in B = 5
Number of elements in A B = 15

Number of one-one function
x = 5 4 3
x = 60

Number of one-one function
y = 15 14 13
y = 15 4 13
y = 60 13
2y = (13)(7x)
2y = 91x
