Solution

Here,

3 ×11 4= Remainder obtained by dividing 3 x 4 by 11
= 0

4 ×11 5 = Remainder obtained by dividing 4 x 5 by 11
= 9

So,
×11
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2 2 4 6 8 10 1 3 5 7 9
3 3 6 9 1 4 7 10 2 5 8
4 4 8 1 5 9 2 6 10 3 7
5 5 10 4 9 3 8 2 7 1 6
6 6 1 7 2 8 3 9 4 10 5
7 7 3 10 6 2 9 5 1 8 4
8 8 5 2 10 7 4 1 9 6 3
9 9 7 5 3 1 10 8 6 4 2
10 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

We observe that the first row of the composition table coincides with the top-most row and the first column coincides with the left-most column.

These two intersect at 1.
So, the identity element is 1.

Also,
5 ×11 9=1Thus, 5-1=9
