Question
For the binary operation multiplication modulo 5 (×5) defined on the set S = {1, 2, 3, 4}. Write the value of (3 ×5 4-1)−1

Answer

The composition table for ×5 on the set S = {1, 2, 3, 4} is
×5 1 2 3 4
1 1 2 3 4
2 2 4 1 3
3 3 1 4 2
4 4 3 2 1
Now,
(3 ×5 4-1)-1 = (3 ×5 4)-1 [$\because$ 4-1 = 4]
= 2-1 [3 ×5 4 = 2]
= 3 [$\because$ 2-1 = 3]
