Given that A is a non-singular matrix of order 3 such that A2 = 2A, then value of |2A| is :(a) 4(b) 8(c) 64(d) 16

Answer»

Option : (c)

\(A^2=2A\)

\(\Rightarrow|A^2|=|2A|\)

\(\Rightarrow|A^2|=2^3|A|\)

\(as\,|kA|=k^n|A|\) for a matrix of order n

\(\Rightarrow\) either |A| = 0 or |A| = 8

But A is non-singular matrix

\(\therefore|2A|=2^3|A|=8^2=64 \)
