This question was previously asked in
NDA 2 2026 GAT Question Paper (13-Sep-2026)
The correct answer is

9

Each of the 2 elements of \(A\) can be mapped independently to any of the 3 elements of \(B\). By the multiplication principle, the total number of mappings (functions) from \(A\) to \(B\) is \(3^{2}=9\).
