Prove the following lemma.



Let $p_1,q_1,....,p_r,q_r,m$ be numbers with $gcd(p_1,....,p_r,m)=1$. Then the congruences $$p_i B equiv q_i (textrmmod m),,, ,,, i=1,...,r$$ have a unique solution modulo $m$ if and only if for all $i,j=1,......,r$ we have $$p_i q_j equiv p_j q_i (textrmmod m)$$.



I have tried using the congruences formula from the elementary number theory but didn't succeed. I would really appreciate if someone can give me an explicit proof.

          $p_iBequiv q_ibmod m$ all $i$ implies $Bequiv p_i^-1q_ibmod m$ all $i$, so
          $p_i^-1q_iequiv p_j^-1q_jbmod m$ all $i$, $j$, and we're done.

Trivially $nequiv 0 text or 1 pmod3$. I can also prove that if the statement is true for $k$ than it is true for $3k$ as well. How to finish? Please help!
