If \(P\) is a \(3 \times 3\) real matrix such that \(P ^{ T }=a P +( a -1) I\), where \(a > 1\), then \(..........\)

  1. A \(P\) is a singular matrix
  2. B \(|\operatorname{Adj} P|>1\)
  3. C \(|\operatorname{Adj} P|=\frac{1}{2}\)
  4. D \(|\operatorname{Adj} P|=1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(|\operatorname{Adj} P|=1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P ^{ T }= aP +( a -1) I\) \(\Rightarrow P = aP ^{ T }+( a -1) I\) \(\Rightarrow P ^{ T }- P = a \left( P - P ^{ T }\right)\) \(\Rightarrow P = P ^{ T } \text {, as } a \neq-1\) \(\text { Now, } P = aP +( a -1) I\) \(\Rightarrow P =- I \Rightarrow| P |=1\)…
