Question

Choose the correct alternative.

If A = `[("a", 0, 0),(0, "a", 0),(0, 0,"a")]`, then |adj.A| = _______

Options

  • a12  

  • a9 

  • a6 

  • a–3 

MCQ

Solution

adj A = `[("a"^2, 0, 0),(0, "a"^2, 0),(0, 0,"a"^2)]`

∴ |adj A| = `[("a"^2, 0, 0),(0, "a"^2, 0),(0, 0,"a"^2)]`

= a6.

The sum of three numbers is 9. If we multiply third number by 3 and add to the second number, we get 16.
