Let A and B are two matrices of order 3 × 3 , where A = - 2 and B = 2 , then A - 1 a d j B - 1 a d j 2 A - 1 is equal to
Options
- A2
- B- 2
- C4
- D8
Correct answer
B. - 2
Step-by-step solution
We know that, A - 1 = 1 A a d j A = A 2 (for 3 × 3 matrices) A - 1 a d j B - 1 a d j 2 A - 1 = 1 A × B - 1 2 × 2 A - 1 2 = 1 A × 1 B 2 × 2 6 × 1 A 2 = 2 6 - 2 5 = - 2
