The relation "Congruence modulo m" is:

A) reflexive only

B) transitive only

C) symmetric only

D) an equivalence relation

Correct answer:
D) an equivalence relation

Description for Correct answer:
\( \Large x=3 \left(mod\ 7\right) => x-3 = 7p,\ \left(p\ \epsilon\ I\right) \)

=> \( \Large x=7p+3,\ p\ \epsilon\ I\ i.e.,\ \{ 7p+3 : p\ \epsilon\ z \} \)

Therefore, Solution set of x is \( \Large \{ 7p + 3 : p\ \epsilon\ I \} \).
