IF `P=[(1,alpha,3),(1,3,3),(2,4,4)]` is the adjoint of `3xx3` matrix A and `|A|=4`, then `alpha` is equal to :

A

11

B

5

C

0

D

4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Given, adj A = P
`therefore abs("adj "A) = abs(P)`
` rArr abs(A)^(3-1) = abs(P) " "[because abs(A)=A]`
`rArr 16 = abs(P)`
`rArr 16 = abs((1,alpha,3),(1,3,3),(2,4,4))`
`rArr 16 = 1(0) - alpha (4-6) + 3(4-6) `
`rArr 16 = a alpha -6`
`rArr 2 alpha = 22`
`therefore alpha = 11`
