Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (A), (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|A| = 5 \times 3 - 2 \times 4 = 15 - 8 = 7\) \(\text{Minor of } 3 = 5\) \(\text{Co-factor of } 2 = (-1)^{1+2} \times 4 = -4\) \(\operatorname{adj}(A) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}3 & -2 \\ -4 & 5\end{array}\right]\) (A), (C) and (D) only
