MCQ
The solution set of $8x \equiv 6(\bmod 14),\,x \in Z$, are
  • A
    $[8] \cup   [6]$
  • B
    $[8] \cup   [14]$
  • $[6] \cup   [13]$
  • D
    $[8] \cup   [6] \cup   [13]$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$[6] \cup   [13]$
c
(c) $8x - 6 = 14P,\,(x \in Z)$

==> $x = \frac{1}{8}[14P + 6]$, $(x \in Z)$

==> $x$ = $\frac{1}{4}(7P + 3)$

==> $x = 6, 13, 20, 27, 34, 41, 48,.….$

$\therefore $ Solution set $= {6, 20, 34, 48,...}$ $\cup$   ${13, 27, 41, ....} $= $[6] \cup   [13]$,

where $[6], [13]$ are equivalence classes of $6$ and $13$ respectively.
