Find the least positive value of x such that 5x ≡ 4 (mod 6)

योग

उत्तर

To find the least value of x such that

5x ≡ 4 (mod 6)

5x – 4 = 6M for some integer n.

5x = 6n + 4

x = `(6"n" + 4)/5`

When we put 1, 6, 11, … as n values in x = `(6"n" + 4)/5` which is divisible by 5.

When n = 1, x = `10/5` = 2

When n = 6, x = `(36 + 4)/5 = 40/5` = 8 and so on.

∴ The solution are 2, 8, 14 …..

∴ Least value is 2.
