The sum of three numbers is 6 .
Twice the third number, when added to the first number gives 7 ,
On adding the sum of the second and third numbers to thrice the first number, we get 12 .
The above situation can be represented in matrix form as \(A X=B\).
Then the \(|\operatorname{adj} A|\) is equal to
- A \(16\)
- B \(-64\)
- C \(-4\)
- D \(4\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(16\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let the three numbers be \(x, y, z\). The given conditions are: 1. \(x + y + z = 6\) 2. \(x + 0y + 2z = 7\) 3. \(3x + y + z = 12\) The system of equations in matrix form \(AX = B\) is:…
