Question:

What is the set of values of x satisfying $x+1= 32 (mod\, 7)$ ?

Options:

$x=...., 8, 16, 24, 32, 38, 40, 48, ............$

$x=...., 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, ............$

$x=...., 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, ............$

$x=...., 10, 17, 24, 31, 38, 45, 52, ............$

Correct Answer:

$x=...., 10, 17, 24, 31, 38, 45, 52, ............$

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (4) : $x=...., 10, 17, 24, 31, 38, 45, 52, ............$

$x+1=32(mod\, 7)$

$x+1-32$ is divisible by 7

$x-31 $ is a multiple of 7

$x-31=7\lambda , λ∈I$

$x=31+7\lambda $

Putting $\lambda = ....., -3, -2, -1, 0 , 1, 2, 3, ......$ we get

$x=...., 10, 17, 24, 31, 38, 45, 52, ............$
