If \(A\) and \(B\) are square matrices of the same order 3 , such that \(\operatorname{det}(A)=3\) and \(A B=3 I\), where \(I\) is an identity matrix of order 3. Then the value of \(\operatorname{det}(B)\) is :

  1. A 3
  2. B 27
  3. C 9
  4. D 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\det(AB) = \det(3I)\) \(\det(A)\det(B) = 3^3 \det(I)\) \(3 \cdot \det(B) = 27 \cdot 1\) \(\det(B) = 9\)
