Let A = 1 1 1 1 - 1 0 0 1 - 1 , A 1 be a matrix formed by the cofactors of the elements of the matrix A and A 2 be a matrix formed by the cofactors of the elements of matrix A 1 . Similarly, if A 10 be a matrix formed by the cofactors of the elements of matrix A 9 , then the value of A 10 is
Options
- A3 10
- B3 20
- C9
- D3 1024
Correct answer
D. 3 1024
Step-by-step solution
A = 1 1 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 1 = 3 A 1 = A 2   b y   p r o p e r t y A 2 = A 1 2 = A 4 A 3 = A 2 2 = A 8 Similarly, A 10 = A 2 10 = 3 2 10 = 3 1 024
