If A and B are invertible matrices of same order, then which one of the following is NOT true?

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 2 \\ -1 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$, then which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

(A) A is singular matrix

(B) |3A| = 135

(C) |adj A| = 125

(D) $|A^{-1}| = \frac{1}{5}$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

If $A = [a_{ij}]$ is a square matrix of order 2 such that $a_{ij} = \begin{cases} 2, & \text{when } i \neq j \\ 0, & \text{when } i = j \end{cases}$, then det $(A^2)$ is:
