(a) Copy and complete the following table for multiplication modulo 11.

\(\otimes\)15910
115910
55
99
1010

Use the table to : (i) evaluate \((9 \otimes 5) \otimes (10 \otimes 10)\);

(ii) find the truth set of :(1) \(10 \otimes m = 2\); (2) \(n \otimes n = 4\)

(b) When a fraction is reduced to its lowest term, it is equal to \(\frac{3}{4}\). The numerator of the fraction when doubled would be 34 greater than the denominator. Find the fraction.

Explanation

\(\otimes\)15910

(i) \((9 \otimes 5) \otimes (10 \otimes 10) = 1 \otimes 1 = 1\)

(ii) (1) \(10 \otimes m = 2\)

By comparison, \(10 \otimes 9 = 2\).

(2) \(n \otimes n = 4\)

From the table, \(9 \otimes 9 = 4\)

Hence, n = 9.

(b) Let the fraction = \(\frac{m}{n}\)

\(\frac{m}{n} = \frac{3}{4}..... (1)\)

\(\implies n = \frac{4m}{3} ....... (2)\)

\(2m = n + 34 ...... (3)\)

Put (2) in (3),

\(2m = \frac{4m}{3} + 34\)

\(2m - \frac{4m}{3} = 34 \implies \frac{2m}{3} = 34\)

\(m = \frac{34 \times 3}{2} = 51\)

\(n = \frac{4m}{3} = \frac{4 \times 51}{3} = 68\)

Hence, the fraction = \(\frac{51}{68}\).
