About this MCQ

This Hard Discrete Mathematics MCQ checks one syllabus fact. Candidates use it for FPSC CSS practice.

The question is: “What is Modular arithmetic primarily used for?”

The accepted answer is A. A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value, called the modulus.. A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value called the modulus is the fact required by What is Modular arithmetic primarily used for option A Option B A branch of algebra dealing with variables that have only two possible values true or false does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value called the modulus Option C A relation that assigns exactly one output value to each input from a given set does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after.

A. A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value, called the modulus. ✓
B. A branch of algebra dealing with variables that have only two possible values, true or false.
Why not B: “A branch of algebra dealing with variables that have only two possible values, true or false.” is not correct. The accepted answer is A. A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value, called the modulus.. A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value called the modulus is the fact required by What is Modular arithmetic primarily used for option A Op
C. A relation that assigns exactly one output value to each input from a given set.
Why not C: “A relation that assigns exactly one output value to each input from a given set.” is not correct. The accepted answer is A. A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value, called the modulus.. A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value called the modulus is the fact required by What is Modular arithmetic primarily used for option A Op
D. A branch of discrete mathematics studying graphs made up of vertices connected by edges.
Why not D: “A branch of discrete mathematics studying graphs made up of vertices connected by edges.” is not correct. The accepted answer is A. A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value, called the modulus.. A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value called the modulus is the fact required by What is Modular arithmetic primarily used for option A Op

Correct answer

A. A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value, called the modulus.

Explanation

A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value called the modulus is the fact required by What is Modular arithmetic primarily used for option A Option B A branch of algebra dealing with variables that have only two possible values true or false does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value called the modulus Option C A relation that assigns exactly one output value to each input from a given set does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after.
