If A and B are non-singular matrices of order 3 × 3 , such that A = adj B and B = adj A , then det A + det B is equal to (where det ( M ) represents the determinant of matrix M and adj M represents the adjoint matrix of matrix M )
Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
B. 2
Step-by-step solution
A = adj B = adj adj A = A A ⇒ A = A 4 ⇒ A = 1 ⇒ B = 1 Hence, A + B = 2
