The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements provided in the question regarding surjective functions and the relationship between sets A and B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Definitions**: - A **surjection** (or onto function) from set A to set B is a function where every element in B has at least one pre-image in A. - If set A has \( m \) elements and set B has \( n \) elements, and if \( m < n \), it implies that there are more elements in B than in A. 2. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - Statement 2 claims: "If \( f: A \to B \) is a surjection, then every element in B has a pre-image in A." - By definition of a surjective function, this statement is true. A surjective function ensures that every element in B is mapped from at least one element in A. 3. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims: "The number of surjections from A to B is given by the formula \( \sum_{r=1}^{n} \binom{n}{r} (-1)^{n-r} r^{m} \)." - Given that \( m < n \), we need to consider the implications of this condition. If A has fewer elements than B, it is impossible to create a surjective function from A to B because there are not enough elements in A to cover all elements in B. 4. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: - Since there cannot be any surjective functions from A to B when \( m < n \), the number of surjections is indeed 0. Thus, the formula provided in Statement 1 does not hold true in this case, making Statement 1 false. 5. **Final Evaluation**: - Statement 1 is false (no surjective functions exist when \( m < n \)). - Statement 2 is true (a surjective function by definition maps every element in B). ### Final Answer: - Statement 1: False - Statement 2: True
