If matrix A=[ array ccc 3 & -2 & 4 1 & 2 & -1 0 & 1 & 1 array ] and...

If matrix A=\left[3−2412−1011\begin{array}{ccc}3 & -2 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1\end{array}\right] andA^{-1}=\frac{1}{k} \operatorname{adj}(A),then, thenk$ is

Options

  1. A7
  2. B-7
  3. C15
  4. D-11

Correct answer

C. 15

Step-by-step solution

Given, A=\left[3−2412−1011\begin{array}{ccc}3 & -2 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1\end{array}\right] and $A^{-1}=\frac{1}{k}$\operatorname{adj}(A)$....(i) We know that, A^{-1}=\frac{\operatorname{\text{ adj }}(A)}{|A|}$...(ii) By comparing Eqs. (i) and (iii), $k=|A|$ So,\begin{aligned} |A| & =\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 3 & -2 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \end{array}\right| \\ & =3(2+1)+2(1+0)+4(1-0)=15 \end{aligned}$$
