For any positive integers 'p' and 9, there exist unique integers 'a' and 'b' such that p = 9a + b, where b must satisfy:
For any positive integers 'p' and 9, there exist unique integers 'a' and 'b' such that p = 9a + b, where b must satisfy: Correct Answer 0 ≤ b < 9
Concept:
Euclid's division lemma: It states that if 'p' and 'q' are positive integers then there exists 'a' and 'b' such that
p = aq + b where, 0 ≤ b < q
Calculation:
Here in the given problem, we have 'p', and 'q' = 9 as any positive integers, then by applying the above lemma there exists 'a' and 'b' such that
p = 9q + b where,
0 ≤ b < 9 ( As q = 9)
Hence, the correct answer is 0 ≤ b < 9.
