Which of the following are correct?
(A) If \(a \equiv b(\bmod n)\), then \(-a \equiv-b(\bmod n)\)
(B) If \(a+b=c\), then \(a(\bmod n)+b(\bmod n) \equiv(a+b+c)(\bmod n)\)
(C) If \(a \equiv b(\bmod n)\), then \(k a \equiv k b(\bmod n), \forall k \in I\)
(D) If \(a \equiv b(\bmod n)\), then \((a+k) \equiv(b+k)(\bmod n), \forall k \in I\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B A), (B) and (C) only

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A), (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) Correct. (B) Let \(a=1, b=2, c=3, n=2\). \(a(\bmod n)+b(\bmod n) = 1(\bmod 2)+2(\bmod 2) = 1+0=1\). \((a+b+c)(\bmod n) = (1+2+3)(\bmod 2) = 6(\bmod 2) = 0\). \(1 \not\equiv 0 (\bmod 2)\). (B) Incorrect. (C) Correct. (D) Correct. The correct statements are (A), (C) and (D).
