For a \(3 \times 3\) matrix \(A\), if \(A(\operatorname{adj} A)=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}99 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 99 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 99\end{array}\right]\) then \(\operatorname{det}(A)\) is equal to:

  1. A \(3 \times 99\)
  2. B \((99)^3\)
  3. C \((99)^2\)
  4. D 99
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 99

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A(\operatorname{adj} A) = (\det A) I\) \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}99 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 99 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 99\end{array}\right] = 99I\) \((\det A) I = 99I\) \(\det(A) = 99\)
