If A is a singular matrix, then $\text{A(adj A)}$ is equal to
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → a null matrix
Given that matrix $A$ is singular.
This means:
$\text{det}(A) = 0$
Now, the identity:
$A \cdot \text{adj}(A) = \text{det}(A) \cdot I$
Substitute $\text{det}(A) = 0$:
$A \cdot \text{adj}(A) = 0 \cdot I = 0$
Therefore,
$A \cdot \text{adj}(A) = 0$
