If the adjoint of a 3 3 matrix P is1 4 4 2 1 7 1 1 3, then the possible value(s) of thedeterminant of P is (are) (A) 2 (B) 1 (C) 1 (D) 2A. -2B. -1C. 1D. 2

Answer» Correct Answer - A::D
Given, `"adj " P = [[1,4,4],[2,1,7],[1,1,3]]`
`rArr abs(adj P )= abs((1,4,4),(2,1,7),(1,1,3))`
`= 1(-4) - 4 (-1) + 4 (1) = 4`
`rArr abs(P)^(3-1) = 4`
`rArr abs(P) = pm 2`
