If $A$ is a square matrix and $I$ is an identity matrix of same order such that $A^2 = A$, then $(2I + A)^3 - 5A$ is

Let A be any skew- symmetric matrix (where $A^T$ is Transpose of matrix A). Then which of the following statements are correct?

(A) $A^2$ is a symmetric matrix

(B) $A^2$ is a skew- symmetric matrix

(C) $A^T A = -A^2$

(D) $A^T A - AA^T = O$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 & \sqrt{7} \\ 0 & \sqrt{7} & 0 \\ \sqrt{7} & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$, then $|\text{adj } A|$ is equal to
