    The minors of \[-4\] and \[9\] and the cofactors of \[-4\]and 9 in matrix \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    -1 & -2 & 3  \\    -4 & -5 & -6  \\    -7 & 8 & 9  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] are respectively

    A)  \[42,3,-42,3\]

    B)  \[-42,-3,42\]                           

    C)  \[42,3,42,3,-3\]

    D)  \[42,3,-42,3\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, matrix \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    -1 & -2 & 3  \\    -4 & -5 & -6  \\    -7 & 8 & 9  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] minor of \[(-4)=\left| \begin{matrix}    -2 & 3  \\    8 & 9  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[=-18-24=-42\] minor of \[9=\left| \begin{matrix}    -1 & -2  \\    -4 & -5  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[=5-8=-3\] cofactor of \[(-4)={{(-1)}^{2+1}}\left| \begin{matrix}    -2 & 3  \\    8 & 9  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=42\] and cofactor of \[9={{(-1)}^{3+3}}\left| \begin{matrix}    -1 & -2  \\    -4 & -5  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=-3\]
