The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \(|\text{adj} A|\) where \(A\) is a non-singular square matrix of order \(n\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between a matrix and its adjoint The adjoint (or adjugate) of a matrix \(A\), denoted as \(\text{adj} A\), is defined such that: \[ A \cdot \text{adj} A = |\text{det} A| \cdot I_n \] where \(I_n\) is the identity matrix of order \(n\). ### Step 2: Take the determinant of both sides Taking the determinant of both sides of the equation gives us: \[ |\text{det}(A \cdot \text{adj} A)| = |\text{det}(|\text{det} A| \cdot I_n)| \] ### Step 3: Apply the property of determinants Using the property of determinants, we have: \[ |\text{det}(A) \cdot \text{det}(\text{adj} A)| = |\text{det} A|^n \] This is because the determinant of a scalar multiple of the identity matrix is the scalar raised to the power of the order of the matrix. ### Step 4: Substitute and simplify Let \(d = |\text{det} A|\). Then we can rewrite the equation as: \[ d \cdot |\text{det}(\text{adj} A)| = d^n \] Now, dividing both sides by \(d\) (since \(A\) is non-singular, \(d \neq 0\)): \[ |\text{det}(\text{adj} A)| = d^{n-1} \] ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, we conclude that: \[ |\text{adj} A| = |\text{det} A|^{n-1} \] ### Final Answer \[ |\text{adj} A| = |\text{det} A|^{n-1} \] ---
