Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(n(A) = p\) and \(n(B) = q\).

The number of relations from set A to set B is given by \(2^{p \times q}\).

Given \(n(A) = 2\), we have \(p = 2\).

The number of relations is \(1024\), so \(2^{2q} = 1024\).

Since \(1024 = 2^{10}\), we get \(2^{2q} = 2^{10}\).

Equating the exponents, \(2q = 10 \Rightarrow q = 5\).

Therefore, \(n(B) = 5\).

Answer: \(5\)
