JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 3 and 4 . metrices and determinant

Let \(A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 2 \\ -2 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 3 & 5 \end{bmatrix}\). Then the sum of all elements of the matrix \(\text{adj}(\text{adj}(2(\text{adj}A)^{-1}))\) is equal to:

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(-4\)
  4. D \(-3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The determinant of matrix \(A\) is given by: \(|A| = 1(0 - 3) - 1(-10 - 1) + 2(-6 - 0)\) \(|A| = -3 + 11 - 12 = -4\) We know the property \(A(\text{adj}A) = |A|I\), which gives \(\text{adj}A = |A|A^{-1}\). Taking the inverse on both sides:…
