Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\operatorname{adj}\,(2 \mathrm{~A})=2^{2} \,\mathrm{adj} \mathrm{A}\) \(\Rightarrow \operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj}(2 \mathrm{~A}))=\operatorname{adj}(4 \mathrm{adj} \mathrm{A})=16 \mathrm{adj}(\operatorname{adj} \mathrm{A})\) \(=16\, |A|\,\mathrm{A}\)…
