Which of the following holds true?

(A) 26≡1(mod 5)26\equiv1(mod\ 5)

(B) 17≡3(mod 8)17\equiv3(mod\ 8)

(C) −30≡−15(mod 3)-30\equiv-15(mod\ 3)

(D) 39≡12(mod 7)39\equiv12(mod\ 7)

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

(A): 26−1=2526-1=25 is divisible by 55, true. (C): −30−(−15)=−15-30-(-15)=-15 is divisible by 33, true.

(B) is false since 17−3=1417-3=14 is not a multiple of 88, and (D) is false since 39−12=2739-12=27 is not a multiple of 77.
