  • question_answer
    If A is a square matrix of order 3 and if \[\det \,(A)=3,\] then \[\det \,[adj\,\,\{adj\,(adj\,A)\}]\] is equal to

    A)  \[{{81}^{2}}\]            

    B)  \[81\]

    C)  \[729\]            

    D)  \[27\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, det \[(A)=3\] and \[n=3\] (order of A) Now,  adj \[(adj\,A)=|A{{|}^{n-2}}A\] \[={{(3)}^{3-2}}\,A\] \[=3\,A\] \[adj\,\,\{adj\,\,(adjA)\}=adj\,\,(3A)\] \[={{3}^{n-1}}\,adj\,A\] \[=9\,adj\,A\] \[|adj\,\{adj\,\,(adjA)\}\,=|9\,adj\,A|\] \[=9|adj\,A|\] \[=9|A{{|}^{n-1}}\] \[=9{{(3)}^{3-1}}\] \[=9\times 9=81\]
