  1. A 425
  2. B 405
  3. C 565
  4. D 585
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 405

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given order of matrix \(A\) and \(B\) are 3 ,
\(|A|=5,|B|=3\)
\(\Rightarrow\) The order of \(A B\) matrix is also 3 .
\(|A B|=|A| \cdot|B|=15\)
Using the property \(|K A|=K^{n}|A|\), where \(n\) is the order of square matrix
\(\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \quad|3 A B| &=3^{3}|A B| \\
&=27 \times 15=405
\end{aligned}\)
