Now 2010 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 67, total number of divisors of 2010 = 16.
So A contains 3 elements and B contains 16 elements. Number of mapping are as follows :
f(1) < f(2) < f(3)  16C3 = 560
f(1) = f(2) < f(3)  16C2 = 120
f(1) < f(2) = f(3)  16C2 = 120
f(1) = f(2) = f(3) 16C1 = 16
Hence total mappings = 816 Ans.

m+2=–m+3  m = 1/2
because for a given slope and variable c the abscissa of mid point must be same so rate of change
of abscissa (h) w.r.t. c is 0.

Alternatively-3: Let A is point of intersection of both the lines. Locus of the mid point of P1P2 will also
contain Aas it become the mid point when P1 P2 coincide at A. And the locus is the straight line
perpendicular to x-axis so it will be x = k, where A(4/5, 17/5)  x = 4/5 is the locus
Let us take a point Q(4,5, 0) on it (locus)
now the slope of line MN for which Q is mid point is required.
