If matrix A= [ array ccc 3 & -2 & 4 1 & 2 & -1 0 & 1 & 1 array ] and A⁻¹= 1 k adj (A) , then k is
Options
- A7
- B-7
- C15
- D-11
Correct answer
C. 15
Step-by-step solution
Given, A= [ array ccc 3 & -2 & 4 1 & 2 & -1 0 & 1 & 1 array ] and A⁻¹= 1 k adj (A) ....(i) We know that, A⁻¹= adj (A) |A| ...(ii) By comparing Eqs. (i) and (iii), k=|A| So, aligned |A| & = | array ccc 3 & -2 & 4 1 & 2 & -1 0 & 1 & 1 array | & =3(2+1)+2(1+0)+4(1-0)=15 aligned
