    If \[A=\left( \begin{matrix}    3 & 2  \\    0 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\], then \[{{({{A}^{-1}})}^{3}}\]is equal to [MP PET 1997; Pb. CET 2003]

    A) \[\frac{1}{27}\left( \begin{matrix}    1 & -26  \\    0 & 27  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\]

    B) \[\frac{1}{27}\left( \begin{matrix}    -1 & 26  \\    0 & 27  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{27}\left( \begin{matrix}    1 & -26  \\    0 & -27  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\]

    D) \[\frac{1}{27}\left( \begin{matrix}    -1 & -26  \\    0 & -27  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[|A|=3,\,AdjA=\left( \begin{matrix}    1 & -2  \\    0 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\]; \[\therefore \] \[{{A}^{-1}}=\frac{1}{3}\,\left( \begin{matrix}    1 & -2  \\    0 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{({{A}^{-1}})}^{3}}=\frac{1}{27}\,{{\left( \begin{matrix}    1 & -2  \\    0 & 3  \\ \end{matrix} \right)}^{3}}=\frac{1}{27}\,\left( \begin{matrix}    1 & -26  \\    0 & 27  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\].
