For a matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} a & -1 & b \\ -2 & 1 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$, $C_{32} = -1$ and $C_{33} = 3$, where $C_{ij}$ is the cofactor of element $a_{ij}$ in $A$. Then

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$, $B = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 6 \\ -2 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ and $C$ be a matrix such that $C = AB$. Then $|(BC)^{-1}|$ is equal to

If $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$ and I is indentity matrix of order 2, then which of following statements are TRUE?

A. $A^2-6A-mI=0$ if $m=-5$.

B. $A^2-6A+mI=0$ if $m=-5$.
