Question

Solve the following congruences. Make sure that the number you enter is \( \geq 0 \) and \( \leq N-1 \), where \( N \) is the modulus of the congruence. If there is more than one solution, enter the a

A) 21%
B) 27%
C) 18%
D) 24%

Answer 1

To solve the congruence, we need to find a number that is congruent to the given number with respect to the modulus. The only option that satisfies the congruence is D) 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the congruence, we need to find a number that is congruent to the given number with respect to the modulus. Let's consider each option and check if it satisfies the congruence:

A) 21 mod N = 21, which is not equal to 12

B) 27 mod N = 27, which is not equal to 12

C) 18 mod N = 18, which is not equal to 12

D) 24 mod N = 12, which is equal to 12

Therefore, the solution is D) 24%
