Question:

If 149≡ 5(mod m), then which of the following cannot be the value of m ?

Options:

9

14

36

24

Correct Answer:

14

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 14

$149≡5(\text{mod m})$

$⇒5=\text{remainder}(\frac{149}{m})$

$⇒5=\text{remainder}(\frac{149}{12})$  [$m=12$ assume]

$⇒5=5$
