Solution
To determine which of the given numbers are solutions to the system of simultaneous linear congruences, we need to check each number against the following conditions:
We will check each number one by one:
1. For :
- (because gives a remainder of 1)
- (because gives a remainder of 1)
- (because gives a remainder of 5)
- (because gives a remainder of 1)
does not satisfy all the conditions.
2. For :
satisfies all the conditions.
3. For :
does not satisfy all the conditions.
4. For :
does not satisfy all the conditions.
5. For :
does not satisfy all the conditions.
6. For :
does not satisfy all the conditions.
Conclusion:
The number is the only number that satisfies all the simultaneous linear congruences.
