Solution

If $n (A) = m$ and $n (B) = n,$ where $1 \leq n \leq m,$ then number of onto functions from $A$ to $B$
$= n \sum r = 1 (- 1)^{n - r}^{n} C_{r} \cdot r^{m}$

Here, $m = 6, n = 3$
$∴$ Number of onto functions
$= 3 \sum r = 1 (- 1)^{3 - r}^{3} C_{r} \cdot r^{6}$
$=^{3} C_{1} -^{3} C_{2} (2^{6}) +^{3} C_{3} (3^{6})$
$= 3 - 192 + 729$
$= 540$
