    If D is determinant of order 3 and D' is the determinant obtained by replacing the elements of D by their cofactors, then which one of the following is correct?

    A) \[D'={{D}^{2}}\]

    B) \[D'={{D}^{3}}\]

    C) \[D'=2{{D}^{2}}\]

    D) \[D'=3{{D}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] D? = cofactor D \[\Rightarrow \left| D' \right|=\left| cofactor\,\,D \right|\] \[\Rightarrow \left| D' \right|={{\left| D \right|}^{3-1}}\]. \[\Rightarrow \left| D' \right|={{\left| D \right|}^{2}}\]. So \[D'={{D}^{2}}\].
