If \(A = \begin{bmatrix} 2a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2a & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2a \end{bmatrix}\), then the value of \(|\text{adj A}|\) is:

  1. A \(64a^6\)
  2. B \(8a^3\)
  3. C \(64a^3\)
  4. D \(8a^6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(64a^6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( |A| = \det \begin{vmatrix} 2a & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 2a & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2a \end{vmatrix} = (2a)^3 = 8a^3 \) \( |\text{adj A}| = |A|^{n-1} = |A|^{3-1} = |A|^2 \) \( |\text{adj A}| = (8a^3)^2 = 64a^6 \)
