Given,

    X29

    α = 9,

    c= 49 &

    m=100

We have,

        Xi+1 = (α Xi + c) mod m

The sequence of random integers are calculated as follows:

X29

X1(α X0 + c) mod m = (9*29+49) mod 100 = 310 mod 100 = 10

X2(α X1 + c) mod m = (9*10+49) mod 100 = 139 mod 100 = 39

X3(α X2 + c) mod m = (9*39+49) mod 100 = 400 mod 100 = 0

    Therefore, the sequence of two-digit random integers are 29, 10, 39, 00.
