Let A and B be two square matrices of order 3 such that A = 3 and B = 2 , then the value of A - 1 ⋅ a d j B - 1 ⋅ a d j 2 A - 1 is equal to (where a d j ( M ) represents the adjoint matrix of M )
Options
- A72
- B64 27
- C8 9
- D16 27
Correct answer
D. 16 27
Step-by-step solution
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 A 2 = 2 6 3 3 ⋅ 2 2 = 16 27
