If \(A\) is a square matrix of order 3, then \(\left|\operatorname{adj}\left(\operatorname{adj} A^2\right)\right|\) is equal to

  1. A \(|A|^2\)
  2. B \(|A|^4\)
  3. C \(|A|^8\)
  4. D \(|A|^{16}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(|A|^8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given matrix \(\mathrm{A}\) is of order 3 . We know that, \(|\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} A)|=|A|^{(n-1)^2}\) Similarly, \(\left|\operatorname{adj}\left(\operatorname{adj} A^2\right)\right|=\left|A^2\right|^{(3-1)^2}\)…
