Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 32 Concept: Property of determinant of a matrix:
Calculation: Given: A and B are square matrices of order 2 such that |A| = 2, |B| = 4 Here, we have to find the value of |2 AB| As we know that, if A and B are two determinants of order n, then |AB| = |A||B| ⇒ |2 AB| = |2A||B| As we know that, if A is a matrix of order n, then |kA| = kn |A|, where k ∈ R. Here n = 2 So, |2A| = 22 ⋅ |A| = 4|A| ⇒ |2 AB| = |2A||B| = 4|A||B| = 4 × 2 × 4 = 32 |
