    The adjoint matrix of the matrix\[\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 8  \\    2 & -5  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]is given by

    A)  \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    -5 & -8  \\    -2 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    B)  \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    -5 & -2  \\    -8 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    C)  \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    5 & -8  \\    -2 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    D)  \[\left[ \begin{matrix}    5 & -8  \\    -2 & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Let \[A=\left[ \begin{matrix}    1 & 8  \\    2 & -5  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[{{a}_{11}}=-5,{{a}_{12}}=-2\] \[{{a}_{21}}=-8,{{a}_{22}}=1\] \[\therefore \] \[adj(A)={{\left[ \begin{matrix}    -5 & -2  \\    -8 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]}^{T}}\] \[=\left[ \begin{matrix}    -5 & -8  \\    -2 & 1  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\]
