In the group $\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$ under multiplication $\bmod 7,2^{-1} X_{7}^{4}=$
- A1
- B4
- Correct answerC2
- D3
Solution
Under Multiplication Modulo 7 , inverse of 2 is $2 \times 4=1(\bmod 7)$
Hence, $\quad 2^{-1}=4$
Now, $2^{-1} \times 4=4 \times 4=16$
Now, $\quad 16=2 \times 7+2$
Hence dividing 16 by 7 gives a remainder 2 ,
Therefore, value of above multiplication mod is 2.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
