Let A be a 3 × 3 invertible matrix. If adj 24 A = adj 3 adj 2 A | , then A 2 is equal to
Options
- A2 6
- B2 12
- C512
- D6 6
Correct answer
A. 2 6
Step-by-step solution
We know that adj A = A n - 1 K A = K n A where n is order of matrix Given adj 24 A = adj 3 adj 2 A ⇒ 24 A 2 = 3 adj 2 A 2 ⇒ 24 A = 3 adj 2 A ⇒ 24 3 A = 3 3 adj 2 A ⇒ 24 3 A = 3 3 2 A 2 A ⇒ 24 3 A = 3 3 2 3 2 3 A A ⇒ A = 24 3 2 3 2 3 3 3 = 2 3 · 3 3 2 6 3 3 = 8 ⇒ A 2 = 64
