× |A| × |B| = |A|
B

2. (a) 9
Explanation:
IAA'| = |A| |A'| = (-3)(-3) = 9
3. (a) 16
Explanation:
Since, A is a square matrix of order 3 i.e. n = 3
we know that
|adj A| = (A)n-1
2

|adj (adj A)| = |A| (n−1)

=2 (3−1)
...(∵ |A| = 2)
= 24
= 16
d −b
4. (a) [ ]
−c a

Explanation:
a b
S = [ ]
c d

M11 = d ⇒ A11 = d
M12 =c ⇒ A12 = -c
M21 =b ⇒ A21 = -b
M22 =a ⇒ A22 = a
d −b
⇒Ad(A) = [ ]
−c a

5.
(c) ±2
Explanation:
Since, the area of the △ABD is 3 sq units, then we have
∣1 3 1∣
1 ∣ ∣
0 0 1 = ±3
2 ∣ ∣
∣k 0 1∣
1
⇒ [0 + 0 − 1(0 − 3k)] = ±3
2
3k
⇒ = ±3

⇒ k = ±2

(c) 6
Explanation:
∣0 2 0 ∣
∣ ∣
λ 3 λ = - 16 then the sum of two values of λ is
∣ ∣
∣λ 5 6 ∣

∣0 2 0 ∣
∣ ∣
∣
λ 3 λ
∣
= -16 ⇒ - λ (12 - 0) + λ (2λ - 0) = -16
∣λ 5 6 ∣

⇒ - 12λ + 2λ 2 = -16 ⇒ 2λ 2 - 12λ + 16 = 0

⇒ λ
2-
6λ + 8 = 0 ⇒ (λ - 2) (λ - 4) = 0
⇒ λ = 2, 4
∴ Sum of two values of λ = 2 + 4 = 6

8.
(d) infinitely many solutions
Explanation:
x + 2y = 5,
4x + 8y = 20
1 2 x 5
⇒ A=[ , X =[
] ,B=[
] ]
4 8 y 20

|A| = 8 -8 = 0
8 −2
adjA = [ ]
−4 1

8 −2 5 40 − 40 0
now (adj A)B= [ ][ ]= [ ]= [ ] ⇒ (adj A)B = 0
−4 1 20 −20 + 20 0

Since, |A|=0 and (adjA)B=0

So, the pair of equation have infinitely many solutions

(A )

11.
(d) singular
Explanation:
If A is singular matrix then adjoint of A is also singular.This is true becaue , if A is a singular matrix, Then det(A) = 0 ,and
hence the adjoint will also be zero.

12.
33
(d) 2

Explanation:
When a given matrix is singular then the given matrix determinant is 0.
|A| = 0
Given,

 1 k 3
⎛ ⎞

A= ⎜3 k −2 ⎟
⎝ ⎠
2 3 −4

|A| = 0
1(-4k + 6) -k(-12 + 4) + 3(9 - 2k) = 0
-4k + 6 + 12k - 4k + 27 - 6k = 0
-2k + 33 = 0
k= .33

Which is the required solution.

13.
(b) 2
Explanation:
|A| = 2, |adj A| = |A|2 - 1 = |A| = 2

14.
(d) |A| = 22|B|
Explanation:
2 2 1 1
Let A = [ ] and B = [ ]
4 0 2 0

Now, |A| = 0 - 8 = -8
and |B| = 0 - 2 = -2
Observe that |A| = 4(-2) = 22 |B|

15.
(c) |A|6
Explanation:
If A is a non singular matrix of order 3, then |adj(A3)| = (|A3|)2 = (|AAA|)2 = (|A| |A| |A|)2 = (|A|3)2 = |A|6 .

Section B
∣ x 2 ∣ ∣ 6 2∣
16. we have, ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣
∣ 18 x∣ ∣ 18 2∣

⇒ x2 – 36 = 36 - 36
⇒ x2 = 36
2
⇒ x + 1 = 36 + 1 = 37

Section C
17. We have |A| = = 1 (16 – 9) –3 (4 – 3) + 3 (3 – 4) = 1 ≠ 0
Now A11 = 7, A12 = –1, A13 = –1, A21 = –3, A22 = 1, A23 = 0, A31 = –3, A32 = 0, A33 = 1

Section D
18. In matrix form ,the system of equations
x-y+2z=7
3x + 4y - 5z = - 5
and 2x - y+ 3z = 12
can be written as,
AX=B ...(i)
where,

A = ⎢3 4 −5 ⎥ , X = ⎢ y ⎥ and B = ⎢ −5 ⎥

2 −1 3 z 12

Here, |A| =1 (12- 5) + 1 (9 + 10) +2(-3- 8)

=1 (7) + 1 (19) +2(-11) (1)
= 7 + 19 - 22 = 4
⇒ |A| ≠ 0

So, A is non-singular and its inverse exists.

Now, co-factors of elements of |A| are
