is dividend, b is divisor, q is quotient and r is remainder. Þ a = c (mod m)
Modulo Arithmetic can be expressed as a mod b = r . i.e. the relation ‘Congruence modulo m’ is
transitive.

CASE STUDY
The economy of a state is composed of various sectors. To understand the basic concept, we
consider two sectors coal mining (sector 1) and utilities (sector 2). The coal mining produces coal
and utilities produces electricity. Assume, that these products are measured by their ` value.
By one unit of product we mean ` 1 worth of that product. To produce ` 1 worth of coal the coal
mining sector uses ` 0.50 of coal and ` 0.10 of electricity. To produce ` 1 worth of electricity the
utilities sector uses ` 0.25 of coal and ` 0.25 of electricity.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions

\Total volume of glass = 14

1. As, 6 2 = 36 º 1 (mod 7) C( x )
6. Average cost ( AC) =

So, (6 ) º 1 (mod 7)

Þ 6 12 º 1 (mod 7) =

\ 6 (mod 7) º 1 5

2. To find (9 ´ 8 ) mod 5, let us divide 9 ´ 8 i.e. 72 x

So, (9 ´ 8 ) mod 5 = 2 7. We have, f ( x ) = xex
3. We find that, f ¢ ( x ) = ex + xex = ex (1 + x )

Þ (3 2 )150 º ( - 1)150 (mode 10) For maxima and minima,

Hence, the unit’s digits in 3 300 is 1. Þ ex (1 + x ) = 0
