As we learnt in

Number of Onto function -

f:A\rightarrow B

Such\: that\: n\left ( A \right )= m

&                    n\left ( B\right )=n

m\geqslant n

Number of onto functions = \sum_{r=1}^{n}\left ( -1 \right )^{n-r}n_{C_{r}}r^{m}

-

 

 No. of onto functions.

Since if there exist exactly three elements x in A. Which give single image y2. If means four elements of A will give image of  y1 and y2. So that (24 - 2) of ^{7}C_{3}.

=(16-2)^{7}C_{3}=14. ^{7}C_{3}

Correct option is 3.
