Let A be a 3 × 3 invertible matrix. If adj 24 A = adj 3 adj 2 A | , then A 2 is equal to

Let A be a 3×3 invertible matrix. If adj24A=adj3adj2A|, then A2 is equal to
  1. 26
  2. 212
  3. 512
  4. 66

Solution

We know that adjA=An-1 

KA=KnA

where n is order of matrix

Given 

adj24A=adj3adj2A

24A2=3adj2A2

24A=3adj2A

243A=33adj2A 243A=332A2A

243A=332323AA 

A=243232333 =23·332633 =8

A2=64
