If A is a 3 × 3 matrix and A = 2 , then 3 adj 3 A A 2 is equal to

If A is a 3×3 matrix and A=2, then 3adj3AA2 is equal to
  1. 312·611
  2. 312·610
  3. 310·611
  4. 311·610

Solution

We need to find the value of 3adj3AA2

We know that kA=knA where n is the order of the matrix and k is a constant.

3A=332

3adj3AA2=33adj33·2A2

We know that adjkA=kn-1adjA

=3333·22adjA2

Now we know that adjA=An-1

=3333·223adjA2

=3333·26A23-1

=3333·2624

=210·321

Hence, the required answer is 210·321=610·311
