Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given AdjA=kAT. ⇒AdjA=kAT   ...i We know that, for a square matrix of order n, AdjA=An-1, kA=knA and AT=A. Hence, from equation i, we have ⇒A3-1=k3A ⇒A2=k3A ⇒k3=A=27 ⇒k=3. Hence, k2-3k+5=32-3×3+5=5.
