Solution

The correct statements are:

a. a ≡ b (mod m) if and only if m|(a-b) d. The expression "a|b" means b is a multiple of a.

Explanation:

a. This is the definition of congruence modulo m. a is congruent to b modulo m if and only if m divides the difference between a and b.

b. This statement is incorrect. The expression "a|b" means that a divides b, or in other words, b is a multiple of a.

c. This statement is incorrect. The expression "a ≡ b (mod m)" means that a and b leave the same remainder when divided by m.

d. This statement is correct. The expression "a|b" means that a divides b, or in other words, b is a multiple of a.
