If AA is a square matrix of order 3 such that A(adj A)=[−2000−2000−2]A(adj\ A) = \begin{bmatrix}-2 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & -2 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & -2\end{bmatrix}, then ∣adj A∣|adj\ A| is equal to

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Since A(adj A)=∣A∣IA(adj\,A) = |A|I, comparing with the given matrix gives ∣A∣=−2|A| = -2.

For order 3, ∣adj A∣=∣A∣n−1=(−2)2=4|adj\,A| = |A|^{n-1} = (-2)^2 = 4.
