Options
- A11
- B7
- C1
- D5
Correct answer
C. 1
Step-by-step solution
Given that, G= 1,5,7,11 is a group under multiplication module 12 . 7⁻¹=7 [ 7⁻¹ ₁₂ 7=1 ] array ll Now, & 7⁻¹ ₁₂ (x ₁₂ 11 )=5 & 7 ₁₂ (11 ₁₂ x )=5 & (7 ₁₂ 11 ) ₁₂ x=5 & 7 ₁₂ 11= remainder after dividing 77 from 12 & 5 ₁₂ x=5 & x=1 array
