Question:

Let A be a non-singular matrix of order 3 and $|A|= 15$, then $|adj\, A|$ is equal to

Options:

15

45

225

150

Correct Answer:

225

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 225

Given $A$ is a non-singular matrix of order $3$

$|A|=15$

For an $n\times n$ matrix

$|\text{adj}\,A|=|A|^{\,n-1}$

Here $n=3$

$|\text{adj}\,A|=|A|^2$

$=15^2$

$=225$

The value of $|\text{adj}\,A|$ is $225$.
