If `P=[(1,alpha,3),(1,3,3),(2,4,4)]` is the adjoint of a 3 x 3 matrix A and `|A| = 4`, then `alpha` is equal to

A

4

B

11

C

5

D

0

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Given P is adjoint of A.
`:. |P|=|A|^(2)`
`:. |(1,alpha,3),(1,3,3),(2,4,4)|=|A|^(2)=4^(2)` (Given)
`:. 2alpha-6=16`
`:. alpha=11`
