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