Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left|\operatorname{Adj}\left(2 Adj \left(2 A ^{-1}\right)\right)\right|\) \(=\left|2 \operatorname{Adj}\left(\operatorname{Adj}\left(2 A ^{-1}\right)\right)\right|^{ n -1}\) \(=2^{n(n-1)}\left|\operatorname{Adj}\left(2 A ^{-1}\right)\right|^{n-1}\)…
