Find the number of elements in the set
Solution1(Quick)
Finding the no. of elements in the set means finding no. of ordered pairs of (, )
Then, .
. Upon simplifying, we get
So, equals to 2 or 3
For = 2, it implies that . So, , Hence all such pairs are of the form (,)
Where each number lies between 2 and 2023 (inclusive). All such pairs are (2, 4);(3, 9);(4, 16);........(44, 1936)
Total no. of these pairs = 43
For = 3, Following a similar pattern, we get the pairs as {2,8}...{12,1728} (,)
Total no. of these pairs = 11
Thus, there are 43+11= elements in the set
