Answer

a) 0 b) 120 c) 720 d) 2520

Work Step by Step

a) It will not be a function as an item from the domain will not linked with another item from the codomain. b) we have 5 items in the codomain set to choose from and 5 items in the domain set to choose for them ( the number of choices) Now, by using permutation 5P5 =120 possible functions. c) we have 6 items in the codomain set to choose from and 5 items in the domain set to choose for them ( the number of choices) Now, by using permutation 6P5 =720 possible functions. d) we have 7 items in the codomain set to choose from and 5 items in the domain set to choose for them ( the number of choices) Now, by using permutation 7P5 =2520 possible functions. You can see an another solution below (it will show the same concept but in another way of counting technique).
