Question:

Given a matrix A of order 3 × 3. If $|A| = 3$ then the value of $\text{|A(adj A)|}$ is:

Options:

3

27

9

81

Correct Answer:

27

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 27

Given: $|A| = 3$

Let $A$ be a square matrix of order $n = 3$.

Property: $|A \cdot \text{adj}(A)| = |A|^n$

So, $|A \cdot \text{adj}(A)| = |A|^3$

Substitute $|A| = 3$:

$|A \cdot \text{adj}(A)| = 3^3 = 27$
