Linear Algebra Question on Groups

For gZg\isin\Z, let gˉZ37\bar{g}\isin\Z_{37} denote the residue class of g modulo 37. Consider the group U37 = {gˉZ37:1g37\bar{g}\isin\Z_{37}:1\le g\le37 with gcd(g, 37) = 1} with respect to multiplication modulo 37. Then which one of the following is FALSE?

A

The set gˉU37:gˉ=(gˉ)1{\bar g \isin U_{37}: \bar g = (\bar g)^{-1}} contains exactly 2 elements.

B

The order of the element 10\overline{10} in U37 is 36.

C

There is exactly one group homomorphism from U37 to (Z\Z, +).

D

There is exactly one group homomorphism from U37 to (Q\mathbb{Q},+).

Answer

The order of the element 10\overline{10} in U37 is 36.

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is (B): The order of the element 10\overline{10} in U37 is 36.
