(A) $|A|$ is positive

(B) $|adj\ A| = -8$

(C) Cofactor of 3 is 6

(D) $|2A| = -32$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Let $A = [a_{ij}]_{3 \times 3}$ such that $|A| = -5$. Then the value of $\det(5A)$ is equal to

Let $A=\begin{bmatrix}a & 0 \\ b & 0\end{bmatrix}$ and $A^2=\begin{bmatrix}4 & c \\ 2 & 0\end{bmatrix}$, $a,b,c \in \mathbb{Z}$. Then the minimum value of $a+b+c$ is:
