replacing each of its elements by its co factor is

  1. A (18)
  2. B \( 16 \)
  3. C \( 96 \)
  4. D \( 256 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( 256 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( (\mathrm{D}) \)
\( |\mathrm{A}|=16, \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{A})=3 \)
\( |\operatorname{adj} \mathrm{A}|=|A|^{2} \)
\( =16^{2} \)
\( =256 \)
