If \(A\) is an invertible matrix of order 2 , then \(\operatorname{det}\left((\operatorname{adj} A)^{-1}\right)\) is equal to
- A \(0\)
- B 1
- C \(\operatorname{det} A\)
- D \(\frac{1}{\operatorname{det} A}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{1}{\operatorname{det} A}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\operatorname{det}\left((\operatorname{adj} A)^{-1}\right) = \frac{1}{\operatorname{det}(\operatorname{adj} A)}\) \(\operatorname{det}(\operatorname{adj} A) = (\operatorname{det} A)^{n-1}\) For order \(n=2\),…

- Read the passage carefully and answer the Questions
Carboxylic acids are the earliest organic compounds isolated from nature. These are also known as organic acids but are weaker acids as compared to mineral acids. However, they are more acidic than alcohols and phenols because of greater resonance stabilization of the parent acid and its conjugate base. The acidic strength is determined by the \(K _a\), which is called the acidity constant. The greater the value of \(K _a\), the greater the tendency of the acid to ionize and hence the stronger the acid. The acidic strength of the saturated aliphatic carboxylic acid depends upon the inductive effect and its position with respect to - COOH groups. Electron-donating substituents tend to decrease whereas electron -withdrawing substituents tend to increase the acidic strength. The acidic strength of the aromatic carboxylic acid, on the other hand depends upon both the inductive effect and the resonance effect of the substituents.

- Answer the question on the basis of passage given below:
Second period elements of p-Block differs from the rest of their group members due to their small atomic size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy and absence of d-orbitals. The elements from the second period like C, N, O have unique property of forming \(p \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds whereas other heavier elements of p-block form \(d \pi-p \pi\) multiple bonds. This changes the properties of second period elements to great extent. Also the single bond strength of the p-block elements with their own atoms gets affected by their atomic size and presence of lone pairs.
Inert pair effect also affects the properties of the p-Block elements especially for those elements which are present from 4th period onward and this happens due to poor screening effect of inner (n-1)d subshell electrons.
