Let \(A\) be a \(3 \times 3\) matrix such that \(|\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} A ))|=12^4\). Then \(\left| A ^{-1} \operatorname{adj} A \right|\) is equal to

  1. A \(2 \sqrt{3}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{6}\)
  3. C \(12\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2 \sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(|\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} . A ))|=12^4\) \(\Rightarrow| A |^{(n-1)^3}=12^4\) Given \(n =3\) \(\Rightarrow| A |^8=12^4\) \(\Rightarrow| A |^2=12\) \(| A |=2 \sqrt{3}\) We are asked \(\left| A ^{-1} \cdot \operatorname{adj} A \right|\)…
