The value of the determinant of a matrix A of order 3 is 3 . If C is the matrix of cofactors of the matrix A , then what is the value of determinant of C ^2 ?
Options
- A3
- B9
- C81
- D729
Correct answer
C. 81
Step-by-step solution
Given |A|=3, ( . where . A _ 3 3 ) Since, C=( adj (A))^ Now, | C |=| adj A |=| A |^ n -1 =3^2=9 So, |C^2 |=9^2=81
