  1. A \(49\)
  2. B \(343\)
  3. C \(7\)
  4. D \(14\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(49\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(A\) be a square matrix of order \(n \times n\). The matrix formed by the cofactors of \(A\) is denoted by \(C\). The property relating the determinant of the cofactor matrix to the determinant of the original matrix is given by \(|C| = |A|^{n-1}\). In this problem, the…
