The least positive integer \(x\) satisfying \(29 \equiv x \pmod{5}\) is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 4
\(29 \equiv x \pmod{5}\) means that 29 and x leave the same remainder on division by 5.
\(29 = 5 \times 5 + 4\)
So \(29 \equiv 4 \pmod{5}\), and the least positive integer x is 4.
