The correct answer is: 110

Given:S=1,2,3,4,5,6

Total number of onto functions from S tto S=6!

Now, for g3=2g1:

g3g1214263 

g3=2g1can be defined in 3 ways.

g2,g4,g5 & g6 can be anything and can be defined in 4! ways.

Number of onto functions for which g3=2 g1=3.4!

Now required probability=3.4!6!=3×4!30×4!=110
