    If \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 3  \\    3 & 10  \\ \end{matrix} \right],\]then adjoint of A is:       

    A) \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    10 & 3  \\    3 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]   

    B)         \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    10 & -3  \\    -3 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]   

    C)  \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 3  \\    3 & 10  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]   

    D)         \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    -1 & -3  \\    -3 & 10  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 3  \\    3 & 10  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] Cofactors of A are \[{{C}_{11}}=10,{{C}_{12}}=-3\] \[{{C}_{21}}=-3,{{C}_{22}}=1\] \[\text{adj}\,\text{A}={{\left[ \begin{matrix}    10 & -3  \\    -3 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]}^{T}}\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    10 & -3  \\    -3 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] Note: If a matrix \[A=\left[ \,\begin{matrix}    a & b  \\    c & d  \\ \end{matrix} \right],\]then                 \[\text{adj}\,\text{A}=\left[ \begin{matrix}    d & -d  \\    -c & a  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]
