clearly f:A → A ==> image of A is mapped to A.
Consider x in A , if f(x) = y, Then following 2 result can be seen
1) f(y) = f(f(x))= fof(x) = x
2) f(x) = f(f(y)) = fof(y) = y
Thus If we choose any 2 number (repetition may occur) ==> their images will just swap
==> This is equivalent to choosing pairs in in set of 4 . Following case arise
1) 2 Pairs each with distinct number ==> 4C2 ways = 6
2) 1 Pair of distinct and other 2 numbers mapped to them selves = 4c2 ways
3) All numbers mapped to themselves(identity map) = 1 way
Thus 13 such functions can be made
