Question:

If A is an invertible matrix of order 3 and the determinant of A is 9, then the determinant of $A^{-1}$ is:

Options:

1

9

0

1/9

Correct Answer:

1/9

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 1/9

Given $|A|=9$

Property of determinants

$|A^{-1}|=\frac{1}{|A|}$

$|A^{-1}|=\frac{1}{9}$

The determinant of $A^{-1}$ is $\frac{1}{9}$.
