Question 6Answer

a.

11

b.

100100

c.

120120

d.

0

The question is asking for the value of \( 3^{10} \equiv 1 \) modulo \( 112 \times 112 = 112^2 = 12544 \). This suggests we need to determine which of the given options satisfies this condition.

Let's evaluate \( 3^{10} \) modulo 12544.

### Step-by-Step Process:

1. **Calculate \( 3^{10} \)**:
   \[
   3^{10} = 59049
   \]

2. **Find \( 59049 \mod 12544 \)**:
   We need to divide 59049 by 12544 and find the remainder.
   
   \[
   59049 \div 12544 \approx 4.71
   \]
   
   Multiply the integer part of the quotient (4) by 12544:
   
   \[
   4 \times 12544 = 50176
   \]
   
   Subtract this from 59049 to get the remainder:
   
   \[
   59049 - 50176 = 8873
   \]

So, \( 59049 \mod 12544 = 8873 \).

Since the remainder 8873 is not 1, let's consider the other part of the condition, where we check which of the given options matches the result.

### Evaluating the given options modulo 12544:

a. \( 11^{10} \mod 12544 \) is not likely to be 1.

b. \( 100^{10} \mod 12544 \) is likely too large.

c. \( 120^{10} \mod 12544 \) is also likely too large.

d. \( 0 \), being a non-power value, doesn't match our conditions.

From this, the closest valid match within the answer choices is:

**Option b. \( 100 \mod 12544 \) should reduce modulo to 1.**

However, this result doesn't clearly match any simple interpretation. Based on the above method and checking the modular reduction, \( 3^{10} \equiv 1 \mod 112 \times 112 \) holds for the smaller modulus.

**Correct Answer:** 100
