    If the matrix B is the adjoint of the square matrix A and \[\alpha \] is the value of the determinant of A, then what is AB equal to?

    A) \[\alpha \]

    B) \[\left( \frac{1}{\alpha } \right)I\]

    C) \[I\]

    D) \[\alpha I\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Since, adjoint of the square matrix A is B \[\Rightarrow \frac{B}{\left| A \right|}={{A}^{-1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{AB}{\left| A \right|}=A{{A}^{-1}}=I\] \[\Rightarrow AB=\left| A \right|I\Rightarrow AB=\alpha I\]
