If A=[2175]A=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 7 & 5 \end{bmatrix}, then the value of ∣A(adjA)∣|A(adj A)| is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Here ∣A∣=10−7=3|A| = 10-7 = 3.

Since A(adjA)=∣A∣IA(adj A) = |A|I, we get ∣A(adjA)∣=∣ ∣A∣I2∣=∣A∣2|A(adj A)| = |\,|A|I_2| = |A|^2 for a 2×22\times2 matrix.

Hence the value is 32=93^2 = 9.
