Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x \equiv 4(\bmod 7)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(3 x \equiv 5(\bmod 7)\) \[ \begin{array}{cc} \Rightarrow & 3 x-5=0(\bmod 7)=\frac{7}{3 x-5} \\ \Rightarrow & 3 x-5=7 P, \text { where } P \in Z \\ \Rightarrow & x \equiv 4(\bmod 7) \end{array} \]
