  • question_answer
    Consider the following statements:
    1. If det \[A=0,\]then det \[(adj\,A)=0\]
    2. If A is non- singular, then \[\det \,({{A}^{-1}})={{(\det \,A)}^{-1}}\]

    A) 1 only

    B) 2 only

    C) Both 1 and 2     

    D) Neither 1 nor 2

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] We know that, adj A and A has same value of determinant, if det A = 0, then det (adj A) = 0 So, statement (1) is correct. Also if A is a matrix the determinant of \[{{A}^{-1}}\] equals inverse of determinant A, so, det\[({{A}^{-1}})\] \[={{(detA)}^{-1}}\], if A is non-singular; statement 2 is correct. Thus both (1) and (2) are correct.
