The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
We know the identity:
A ⋅ adj(A) = |A| ⋅ I
⇒ |A| ⋅ I = [ -2 0 0 ]
[ 0 -2 0 ]
[ 0 0 -2 ]
⇒ |A| = -2
Also, for a 3 × 3 matrix,
|adj(A)| = |A|^(n-1) = |A|² = (-2)² = 4

- Let \( A \) be a \( 3 \times 3 \) matrix such that \( X^T AX = 0 \) for all nonzero \( 3 \times 1 \) matrices \( X = \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{pmatrix} \). \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 4 \\ -5 \end{bmatrix}, \quad A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 4 \\ -8 \end{bmatrix} \] If \( \det(\text{adj}(2(A + I))) = 2^{\alpha} 3^{\beta} 5^{\gamma} \), \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \in \mathbb{N} \), then \( \alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 \) is:
Let $ A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 2 + p & 2 + p + q \\4 & 6 + 2p & 8 + 3p + 2q \\6 & 12 + 3p & 20 + 6p + 3q \end{bmatrix} $ If $ \text{det}(\text{adj}(\text{adj}(3A))) = 2^m \cdot 3^n, \, m, n \in \mathbb{N}, $ then $ m + n $ is equal to:
- Let \( A \) be a square matrix of order 3 such that \( \text{det}(A) = -2 \) and \( \text{det}(3 \cdot \text{adj}(-6 \cdot \text{adj}(3A))) = 2^{m+n} \cdot 3^{mn} \), where \( m > n \). Then \( 4m + 2n \) is equal to:
- Three students run on a racing track such that their speeds add up to 6 km/h. However, double the speed of the third runner added to the speed of the first results in 7 km/h. If thrice the speed of the first runner is added to the original speeds of the other two, the result is 12 km/h. Using the matrix method, find the original speed of each runner.
- If \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \), then find the value of \( K \) if \( A^2 = 6A + K I_2 \), where \( I_2 \) is the identity matrix.
