let a = 2q+1
a= 3q+2
a= 4q+3
a= 5q+4
a= 6q+5
Now in the equation a= 6q+5,
Let q=1
than a = 6q +5 = 6*1 +5 = 11
If we replace a with eleven with ALL the above equations .. we can infer that 11 satisfies all the equations... So ELEVEN IS THE ONLY NO BETWEEN 0 AND 100 WHICH BELONGS TO SET A...... I hope it helps
