Question 92

MediumOriginal question

Read the two statements and choose the correct option.

I. In Z5\mathbb{Z}_5, every class except [0][0] has a multiplicative inverse.

II. In Z6\mathbb{Z}_6, [2]×[3]=[0][2] \times [3] = [0].

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. I: 5 is prime, so 1, 2, 3, 4 each share no factor with it; the inverses are [1],[3],[2],[4][1], [3], [2], [4]. True.

  2. II: 2×3=6≡0(mod6)2 \times 3 = 6 \equiv 0 \pmod{6}. True: two non-zero classes can multiply to [0][0].
